Behind the Scenes…
You may have noticed Swoopers.org and SwoopoManual.com has had occasional downtime this past week. Some pages have been inaccessible to users, links have been broken and the forum has been hit or miss. SwoopoAnalytics has fortunately been unaffected – and has continued to be available for the hundreds of bidders who rely on it to bid on Swoopo.
My goal is to be able to keep the site up 100% of the time. When that doesn’t happen, I’m pretty bummed about it. I know many of you rely on it on a regular basis – and I’m sorry it hasn’t been there for you.
The reason we’ve had issues this past week is because we’re moving everything to a new server. We had so many issues in the past that we decided it was time for an upgrade. Our new server will be faster, more reliable and definitely more secure. Our hope is that the downtime we suffered this week will be made up for with reliable performance in the future.
Thanks for being cool while we work through this transition. And thanks for your emails of concern as well as support. Don’t worry folks, we’re not going anywhere!
Imitation, Flattery Etc.
Swoopo has launched a new marketing campaign called “Swoopo Naked,” complete with partially nude models to illustrate the point. This new marketing campaign is aimed to dispel any myths about “entertainment shopping” and Swoopo specifically.
Along with this marketing campaign, they rolled out a short guide on their site titled “The Swoopo Guide.” The Swoopo Guide is essentially a watered down version of the Swoopo Manual with most of the useful bits left out. They even went so far as to borrow concepts and terms that I created and have been using for over a year, such as BidButler Layering. (For those who haven’t yet read the Manual, that’s a method of placing BidButler bids that reduces the chances of losing big).
They’ve also created a new section on the site titled “Meet the Swoopers.” This is the first time I’ve ever seen Swoopo use the term Swoopers. It should be obvious, of course, that this site is named Swoopers dot org and has existed for nearly a year now.
Of course I’m not upset with Swoopo for seeking inspiration in my work – it just reinforces the impact our community has made. I just wish Swoopo would start paying me a proper consulting fee for all the groundwork we’ve done on their behalf!
