A couple of updates

This is just a quick note about a couple of updates:

There is now a limit of 400 adds per 24 hours. This is due to the fact that MySpace will ban you if you add more than 400 people per day. Plus it always cuts down on the cheaters.

The other update is that you now recieve 25 points per person you refer rather than the lowly sum of 10 points. All stats have been updated to reflect this change.

Friendr Profile Tracker Released

After a couple of weeks testing we've decided today was the right time to release the friendr profile tracker.

With the profile tracker you will be able to see who has visited your profile, when they visited, where they come from, etc.

Unfortunately, the system only works with users who are also signed up to friendr. We spent a few weeks trying to find away around this but it's the only way we can track users.

The user puts an image on their profile. When someone visits the profile, the image triggers a script which collects information about that user, including their IP address. The IP address is then matches to a user of friendr (if any).

Due to way that MySpace works, this is the only was to go about it.

Any way we hope you enjoy the service. If you have any problems or suggestions then feel free to leave us a comment and we'll see what we can do.

A Couple of Bug Fixes

Just a note about a couple of bug fixes.

We noticed that there a problem the first time you logged in/signed up. You had to login once to create your account and then enter your ID again to actually login. This has now been fixed, so new users will be logged in the first time they enter their myspace ID.

The second 'bug' that was fixed was down to a caching issue. The search on the front page wasn't working because the contents were being cached on the server side. This problem has now been fixed so the search functionality should be up and running again.

Another thing we're currently trying to fix is the front page. If users are using Internet Explorer then the front page looks a bit wonky. This should be fixed today.

In other news, the friendr team are working on a MySpace profile tracker, which is currently in testing. We're hoping to launch it within the next few days so keep and eye out for it ;)

Stay cool

Welcome to Friendr

Hi all and welcome to friendr, a place where you can easily grow your MySpace friend list.

If you haven't visited the site yet you can do so by clicking here

Just a couple of updates for you:

Search Added
A search function has now been added the the front page of the site. This allows you to narrow down your searches by the following criteria:
  • Sex (Male/Female/Bands)
  • Age Range
  • Country
Rearranged Front Page
The front page has been reorganised. We've removed most of the ads as we thought they were making the site look ugly. We've also added the 'all time top 10' which shows, funnily enough, the all time top 10 ;)

Earn Points By Digging Friendr
We've added a new way of earning points on friendr. If you visit this link you will find more information regarding it. You can earn an extra 50 points by digging friendr.

That's all the updates for now.
