TwitHawk moves home

Over the weekend TwitHawk made the move to a more stable server, with vps.net. While there was a small amount of downtime for the website, the searches continued to run in the background to find you matches and send your replies.

This new server will allow the site to be stable in times of high traffic (which recently has become an issue as the site has grown over time), being able to detect a high load and immediately acquire more resources to bring the load back down to an acceptable level.

If you notice any issues with the site at this new location, please contact info-at-twithawk.com with any information you can provide (you will be rewarded for your efforts!)

Quarter of a million introductions made via TwitHawk

It’s a big day for TwitHawk, a huge milestone has been hit, a quarter of a million tweets have been sent via the platform, and things are only picking up at a fast rate. That’s 250’000 introductions / leads generated / new friends made. In truth, this milestone could have been reached a long long time ago if it weren’t for being active in fighting SPAM and in making sure that Twitter isn’t flooded with mindless tweets, instead ensuring that both senders and recipients get benefit from the relationships formed.

For a limited time, to help celebrate this milestone all new users that sign up and use the coupon code of QUARTER will get $10 worth of credits (200 credits) free to kick start their campaigns.

In side news, this past week has seen a lot of improvements including:

  • Many site performance and stability improvements which can be seen site wide, but most prominently in the account area. In some areas the speeds are more than 500% faster.
  • When viewing your account, you can now see a list of tweets you have sent via TwitHawk in the past
  • Coupon code on signup (for any sites that want to do a write up on TwitHawk and provide their readers with a coupon for free credits… contact info-at-twithawk.com)
  • Bug fix: IE users not being able to expand rows to edit their searches / view existing search matches
  • Bug fix: Many users were not receiving emails when new matches were found

A final note for non OAuth users (older accounts).

Twitter will very soon be turning off their API access to accounts that do not use OAuth (see here for more info). If you don’t know if you are using OAuth with TwitHawk or not, don’t worry, all you need to do is login to your TwitHawk account and go to each of your accounts, if you are not using OAuth the system will let you know and guide you through converting your account to use OAuth. If you don’t get any popups, then you are already using the right authentication and don’t need to do anything further.
