A New Macbook - Thank You!
A couple of weeks ago I posted via Twitter that my Macbook had died. I’ve had logic board issues with it for quite a while. A few people had suggested that I post a donation page for tweekly.fm so that users who enjoyed the service could provide something in return. Between a combination of the donation page and lowering the premium user price I was able to generate a good sum of money towards a...

Just to remind you folks, no updates will be processed because we can’t pull user data from Last.fm at present. Keep an eye on http://status.last.fm/ for more information. As soon as web services are back up, we’ll be able to process users and catch up.

Moving to MongoDB
This was posted originally on my blog, if you wish to leave feedback then please do so there.
Over the past two days I’ve been making a lot of changes to how tweekly.fm operates and functions for both users and myself. We no longer user MySQL for the majority of the site because concurrently, it just couldn’t handle what we were throwing at it very well. By moving over to a NoSQL alternative...

The ‘Referred By’ field will most likely be empty as this feature has only just been introduced. The ‘Referrer URL’ field is a special link you can share with friends, when recommending...
New news, Queued Updates & More
I’ve removed the old news section from the welcome page. Its been replaced by a syndicated news source from our shiny tumblr blog. This will provide a better service to our end users and they will always see the latest news instead of stale news.

'Publish Now' is Live!
The highly popular feature from the old version of tweekly.fm was the ‘Publish Now’ feature that would allow you to post an update any time you wished. This feature has been pushed live this morning. You’ll find it on the right side menu after signing in.
New Design, New Features
As you can see, we have a new design and if you’re taken a look around you’ll notice that things look a lot different feature wise too. We are aiming to expand the capabilities of the system to better serve our 37,000+ users. We’re taking on lots of new users each day and slowly but surely ironing out the little bugs that eek their way into our service. A change in how Last.fm...

The changes that we’re slowly making to the services we provide will have a positive impact for all. We already now have better connectivity and capacity than we previously had which has resulted in the site being accessible all day long - even during the...
