Nameserver problem

We apologize for woophoo.com is not beeing reachable from time to time. We do not own the DNS servers responsible for woophoo.com, which turned out to be a bad decision - the site is always up, however, we can not reach it by name. If you can't see our nice logo above - as I can't see it at this moment - then this is what is going on.

On the other hand, this is a case why we keep this blog separately - which turned out to be a good decision.

We resolve the problem in the next few days, and no more outage.

-- Update: Name server problem resolved; our own nameservers work well.

New functionality added: Bunches

Bunches are groups of users - we could name them fleets, groups, sets or anything like these. It's a primary expectation to enable users to form such groups, and to track members - where they are, when have we last seen them.

We only added basic functionality yet:
- we can form a new bunch,
- we can invite users to our bunch,
- we can join bunches if we have an invitation,
- we can query real time locations of our bunches.

Privileges are adaptable enough to handle such cases, like 'I'm creating a bunch for my employees, but I don't want to be viewable by them'; such functionalities of the web interface will be added soon.

Try it, position your bunches!

Woophoo blog launched
