Track tagging
Tags are simply words you use to describe tracks like 'sightseeing' or 'Paris'. Tagging is a very nice tool for organizing and searching tracks.
You can attach a tag to a track by entering the tag into the 'Add new tag' field and pressing enter. You can do this on your tracks and even on every track you see.
If you just want to browse tracks in a topic just click on 'Search by tag' in the basic search section to open our tag cloud. You will get a lot of tags, and the size of each tags show you their popularity. If you click on a tag, you will get a list of tracks associated with that tag.
There is a 'Display my tags only' checkbox under the tag cloud, if you check that box you will see only the tags you added to tracks. This is an easy way to organize your tracks.
Just try it!

How to embed your Woophoo bunch on your blog
It's easy to embed a public Woophoo bunch on your blog or site.
If you are a member of a public bunch, just click the 'Embed this bunch on your blog' link. You will get a window with some html code and a preview. The html code is now auto-copied to your clipboard so you just need to paste it into your blog. To accomplish this go to your blog post, switch to html view (In Blogger: 'Edit Html') and paste the html code by right-clicking and selecting 'Paste' from the drop-down menu.
In all probability, your blog system is unable to display the bunch while editing so you must change to preview or publish the post to see the result. Because of this my practice is just to embed the bunch when the posts's text is done.

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!
