MoDazzle

All,

The release seems to be good so far. As I mentioned, please contact us anytime @ support@modazzle.com should you have any specific issues.

Specific things we know about:

• LinkedIn Person Detail search isn't working


• Authenticated requests via SMS (Facebook, LinkedIn) aren't working


• Weather command isn't working

Thanks for your patience during these growing pains.

cheers! Eric

Thanks all. If you notice any problems, please let us know! support@modazzle.com

LinkedIn:

This will almost certainly break our functionality on those sites. We will keep up on this and minimize downtime!

All,

We experienced an OutOfMemory exception on one of our MoDazzle servers. As a result, we need to restart the service. You may have noticed receiving some duplicate responses to commands you sent to the system (or responses from things you didn't think was going to respond). These should be all done by now.

If you are experiencing problems, please let us know, support@modazzle.com

It seems that the ZoomInfo website isn't serving content reliabily (which is causing some of your ZoomInfo related commands to fail). We are looking into this, and will update as soon as we know more.

FYI faithful MoDazzle users...

In an effort to make our service better, I am implementing a new backend for LinkedIn integration. This is a new approach which I am hoping improves the stability our LinkedIn service, while making it easier to develop and maintain new services.

We need a couple of days, but, it's making good progress.

cheers!

So, what is going on with Facebook?Well, Facebook likes to move and shake. And...well...it moved and shaked a little too much for us. :( We are working to fix this immediately.

Keep your eyes on our blog for updates.

You can't see it yet, but it's there. MoDazzle has a real-time service status page available @
http://www.modazzle.com/cms/showstatus.html

Why have a real-time status page?

Well, the web changes...a lot. And it does it fast. The sites we use to get the information you want sometimes change the way they work. As a result, sometimes our scrapers break. :(

What are we doing about it?

We are doing two fold:

(1) We will do our best to let you know when services are down

If you ask for a service that is currently down (like LinkedIn Connections for example), we will let you know that we know this service is down, and to try back again. (The site currently gives some cryptic messages instead of something useful like above...we are working on it!)

(2) We are working code our site in a way that makes it more resilient to changes that frequently happen.

This is an ongoing process for us, so we appreciate your understanding, patience, and feedback. This only exists because of you, so please give us feedback!

We want you to know what is going on with MoDazzle. What is working, what isn't, what we want to do, and what you want us to do. To facilitate this, we created this blog!

More is on the way, but until then, we just wanted to say, "Hello!".
