Woopra Featured on GeekBrief

John P.

By

Cali Loves WoopraFolks. I have a confession to make. I’ve been secretly cheating on all of you for some time now. Oh, and to make matters worse, I’m proud of it.

Yes, you already know that a few months ago I joined Layered Technologies as the Chief Marketing Officer… but I’ve got another on the side. And she’s called Woopra. I’ve been secretly working with Elie Khoury and Jad Younan on this project, and we just unveiled it yesterday at WordCamp, making Beta accounts available for the first time for all participants.

What can I tell you about Woopra? She’s hot, smooth, smart, and sexy. But don’t take my word for it… Here is what Cali from GeekBrief had to say after just a few minutes with Woopra.

So… Do you want a taste of Woopra? It’s in VERY limited beta right now, but I will send invitations to track one Web site over to my regular readers… so if you want to give it a try, drop a comment below. You need to be a registered user on my blog, or an e-mail subscriber so that I can know that you’ve actually been a reader for a while in order to qualify. (Regular known commenters qualify too.)

If you haven’t been a long time reader, but you go ahead and subscribe via e-mail with a promise to stick around, I’ll consider handing out additional invites. :-) For anyone else, you can register on Woopra and add a Web site to track and we’ll get around to approving it as we have the capacity. (It takes a lot of infrastructure to support all this…)

Oh, and one other thing, you have to promise to do a writeup about Woopra and tell Elie, Jad and I what you think.

Comments

  1. Hey, I just subscribed, and I too would like a Woopra invite code. Actually, glad I followed to your blog, looks like the kinda stuff I like any way. I am so new to this whole blogging thing… it is not an easy thing to me. Thanks!

  2. Hi!
    I have registered yesterday. I have websites and I’d like to track them. One of my websites is B&B’s website. And It’ll be good if I know from what countries my visitors. And the same time I’ll make notes about Woopra. I want Woopra invitation code.

  3. Interested in Woopra, especially on behalf of the Drupal development community.

    For now, I’d like to try it out on one of my customer’s sites, so one invitation would be greatly appreciated.

    I’m active in the Drupal community, docs maintainer on drupal.org.

    Thanks

  5. Dear John, we are a small shiplover community from germany and our site is all about real time. we’ve developed a flash-client to visualize live position of ships all over the world. our users are worldwide (around 50 permanent clients), so I think woopra would be a perfect addition for our monitoring :) We are good testers too and engaged in the development of Typo3, where the roomers are rising in the moment about the new tracking star on the horizon.
    I just registered on your blog. Thanks anyway for the fresh ideas, the movie makes me really keen. lars

  7. I’ve been searching all over for an invite – I hope that you could spare one? My page views are within the threshold that you are looking for, plus a review will be published on my blog and Twitted. Are there any available? I’ve registered there on June 27 but haven’t heard anything as of yet. Thanks so much!

  8. John, this looks like a world class product you are building! Just signed up and am in pending. Looking forward to experiencing & reviewing Woopra as well as continuing to follow your posts. Awesome job!!! Take care.

  9. I will read every single thing on this page if you give me an invite. I really want Woopra. I will do anything. I can digg all your stories, just let me know what it takes. I will do it.

  10. It’s a very amazing tool!
    I’m currently writing abig story about woopra for the german speaking Joomla! Usercommunity. But I can’t test it yet.
    How can I get a invitation Code?

  11. Hi John, I signed up for woopra with the same email address that I used for this comment and in my other firefox tab I have the woopra “add a website” screen open, but I stopped because it said “only users with an invitation code will be automatically approved.”

    So I haven’t submitted my website yet because I thought I needed an invitation code.

    I just tried adding a site but the woopra site seems to be under heavy load? Non of the links will come up and when I click the “Add Website” button, the page just continues to try to load.

  14. Branislav,

    Can you go ahead and create a login on Woopra and then do the Add a Site function? Then I’ll be able to approve you on the back end afterwards.

    Thanks,

    John

  22. Hi John, I’m a new subscriber, but I promise to write an honest review of woopra if I can get the hookup with a woopra invite.

    I’m also a happy layered tech customer (I have one of my dedicated servers there :) That’s gotta earn me some woopra love.

  24. Hi,
    I would very much love to get an invite, I signed up for the program but never got the invitation :( I write about the latest stuff and would love to track my blog too…

    If you can please consider me…..

    thank you.

  25. I’ll admit I just signed up for OneMansBlog.com, but am a constant in the study of Internet marketing, analytics … etc. I’ve already signed up for the Beta not knowing I’ll be in “Pending” so I’m not sure if even honored an invite by you, that I could still register it. But it never hurts to ask! I really would like to run an article about Woopra on my site. But I’d like to use it some before I make any comments about it.

    Thanks in advance and I’m sorry I didn’t find you sooner! Better late than never! :)

  26. It looks great but do your really think it will “sell”? Considering Google Analytics and other stat tracking tools….

    Sasha

  28. John! I’m running late on my reader feeds and just now found this. I’ve already submitted my site over there (I’m reading in reverse). I’ve got your theme on my sites, I would love to check it out and write something up on it. The site I submitted LifeontheRoad.com

  29. Hi, My Fiancee is running a web site that i think she would LOVE to monitor with this. Let me know if there is room.

  31. John, I’d like an invite as well if you’re still giving em :) I really enjoyed Pmetrics for the spy feature, but if you’ve got something comparable, I’d love to check it out seeing as how your first recommendation did so well.

  32. John, right on you sneaky blogger ;-) I’m installing this now. This looks awesome, and you’re the perfect person to lead the charge here.

    http://www.woopra.com/ needs an About US / Team page, if I didn’t know it was you, I wouldn’t have signed up for software or service from nameless, faceless people, but that is just me.

    Also, if I sign up with JavaScript disabled in my browser, it results in a 500 java.lang.NullPointerException ;-) I can’t help it, I’m a tester.

    Woopra really does look brilliant!

  33. Hey – something changed at the site – you can now list your website and wait for an invite code!

    I am registered and waiting – so if you have not been back in the last few hours head back and enter your site info as the invite code is no longer required to register your website.

  34. I just saw that you don’t need any invite anymore, but I still wanna try it out ASAP. So if an invite could possibly speed things up, I would appreciate one. :)

    I’ll subscribe for sure and report about it on my blog too. If this tool is what I saw on GB.TV, it really deserves the free advertising.

    And BTW, John, when I registered, WordPress told me that you need an upgrade. :P

  38. Richard,

    You are correct, but we are hoping that people will go ahead and register on Woopra anyway because once we have enough WP.com sites in the request pool we can make a plea to Matt to allow the Woopra script. :-)

    John

  41. Subscribed! I would love an invitation to Woopra.
    As for writing about it – just try stopping me! :-)
    many thanks

  42. Hi
    My name is Branislav Rac and i have blog in Slovak language. I wish to write coverage about Woopra for my slovak readers. I have registered account yesterday under nickname branorac. If it is possible please send me invitation code and i write coverage as soon as possible. Btw Woopra is realy great stat service as i saw on Techcrunch. I am happy its a first realtime service. My blog is placed at http://www.branorac.sk

  44. Looks fascinating and I would love an invite. I have posted about Woopra at the site linked here from my name and would like that to be the beta test site.

  45. Oh come now, you gotta let me track all my blogs!

    I was nice enough to bad mouth you all!

    My Blogs don’t get much traffic!

    I just hope that the code that you put on the Blog isn’t like Java or WP.com will eat it.

    -Chuck

  48. Totally cool, I’d like an invite for my personal site and maybe my day job. Looks like it might provide too much information… I could go all A.D.D..

  49. One other question too –

    I’m using Disqus for my comments… will I be able to “tag” users when they leave a comment? Or does it require the core WordPress comment functionality?

  51. hi john,

    saw you on geekbrief this morning and woopra looks very promising! i’m currently paying for providersupport to do (what looks to be) even less.

    you said at the end of the geekbrief segment, to go to woopra, register, login, add website. I got up to “add website” and then it said I needed an invitation. on the show, you said the invite happens after adding your website.

    please advise, thanks!

  52. John,

    Nevermind about my earlier comment of it not working – all seems to be good and well once more and it has been added to my Google Reader and organized into its appropriate folders – a definite new daily read for me.

    Thanks a bunch!
    Michael

  54. John,

    Like Michael I am new to the blog as I also found your post as the number one link in a Google search for Woopra invites.

    I did get subscribed to your RSS feed so it will be a daily read in my Outlook!

    Thanks for the opportunity to check out Woopra. In fact, I already have the WP plug in uploaded and ready to go.

  55. By the way, your RSS feed is not working. I tried clicking on both the feedburner link on the right-hand side of the page and on the RSS logo in the upper right-hand corner of Firefox.

  56. I am not a frequent reader/commenter, but I in fact jus found this blog looking for Woopra invites. Given the content of the blog, however, I have added it to my RSS feeder.

    Here’s hoping for an invite for one of your newcomers as well! Thank you in advance!
