Server re-install (updated)

Godfried van Loo — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 14:40:58 +0000

Last week, you may have experienced some downtime. We had a number of attacks on the server that caused problems. Because of this, we decided to re-install the server today and upgrade it to a higher security-level. Due to different reasons this had to be done right away.
We are up and running again and apoligize for any inconvenience.

Scoutle on Italian TV

Godfried van Loo — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 08:10:54 +0000

Although it has been a while, we just found about it. Scoutle has been discussed on Italian television. A couple of days after launching Scoutle version 2.0. The Italian user base has always been pretty large compared to other non-english/dutch languages but who knows this has helped more than we know.

Breaking news: web-log.nl launches Scoutle BlogToy!

Godfried van Loo — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 11:32:21 +0000

Today is a special Scoutle day. First of all, Scoutle has been online for over 8 months but also today web-log.nl (largest blogprovider in The Netherlands) now fully supports Scoutle by having developed a so-called ‘Scoutle-BlogToy’ for their users.

It may not be a surprise that we are very proud. Not only will it be a lot easier for web-log.nl users to add a Scoutle Widget to their blogs, but it also helps us promote our service in the country where it all started.

Scoutle upgraded to Version 2.5

Godfried van Loo — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 09:31:23 +0000

Scoutle is online for 6 months already! A complete new version of Scoutle.com (Version 2.0) was launched silently September 18th with many (!!!) new and cool features but every day we keep on working hard to implement and process the great suggestions we get through email or the Suggestion Box. There have been so many updates the last few months, you may have missed some!

1. New intelligent widget: – Dynamic Widget

This new widget has been tested for a week now and is actually a small version of your blog profile at scoutle.com. It is updated automatically to make sure only blogs are shown that you approved. Also, visitors can visit another blog directly, going from one blog to another without passing Scoutle.com to bring visitors around even quicker. We strongly advice you to replace your current widget with this new widget that is available in two different sizes.

2. Customize your widget

We added different ways to customize your widget. You are now able to select the background color of your widget! Just login at Scoutle.com and go to My Scoutle / My Blogs and click on “Edit”.

3. Find your friends!

Want to find your existing friends inside Scoutle? Use your webmail account (Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo…) to find friends that are already using Scoutle and those that are not, you can invite with a single click.

4. Scoutle is getting more social

Next to Twitter, FriendFeed and your Personal RSS Feed we now also have a Lifestream RSS Feed for you and Scoutle is supported at profilactic.com. Use these cool features to get noticed! Login, go to / My Scoutle / My Account / Communication.

5. New additional service: www.qurify.com

We are also working on other cool services that can help you and your blog get noticed on different ways. We just launched www.qurify.com to help you get your blog noticed outside the Internet. At www.qurify.com your can create your own QR Codes (which is called “to qurify”) but inside the Scoutle website, we already qurified a QR Code for you at My Scoutle / My Blogs / QR Code. Check out www.qurify.com to learn more about QR Codes.

6. Submit your RSS Feed for new extra traffic

We will upgrade to Scoutle Version 3.0 soon with even more great new features. For this it is very important that you submit the RSS Feed of your blog so login at Scoutle.com and do so right away!

7. Advice: Join or create networks

Networks are very important within Scoutle so be sure to join or create networks that are related to your blog. Also, promote these networks so you make your own connections stronger and of higher quality.

To make sure Scoutle will grow faster and faster, and drive more interested traffic to your blog, please make sure to invite all your friends and BLOG ABOUT SCOUTLE! Not only will your post be mentioned at Scoutle.com (and printed out to have a nice spot at our wall at the office) but also, this is a very effective way to get your own visitors connected to your blog and help them spread the word as well. We will continue to listen to your suggestions and add as many useful and free features that all of us can think of!

You just work on the quality of your blog… The Scouts will do the rest.

Scoutle now also ownes www.scoutle.org

Godfried van Loo — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 18:07:50 +0000

Ok, not that it really changes anything but as of today now also www.scoutle.org will redirect you to Scoutle! We may offer a different website on scoutle.org in the far future, but it is very nice to know that com/net/org will bring you to the right domain…

Launch (beta) new intelligent widget: Scoutle Dynamic Stage

Godfried van Loo — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 17:53:21 +0000

Today, November 8th, Scoutle celebrates its 6 months anniversary. In these 6 months we welcomed thousands of users and many new and useful features were added. The new verison of Scoutle, September 18th, is a great success and we thank you for all the great feedback we recieved.

We celebrate this anniversary by launching a new and far more intelligent widget, called Dynamic. This new widget is actually a small version of your personal Scoutle blog profile. Also, in this new widget we allow your visitors to navigate directly to other blogs, bypassing the Scoutle profiles.
Of course this will drive less traffic to the Scoutle website but we are more interested in helping you, our users, to get more visitors. Of course we hope you will help us and the Scoutle community out by writing/blogging about Scoutle and invite all your friends to join as well. This will help you get more traffic as well because the more people/Scouts can find your blog, the more visitors you can welcome.

We would like to recommend all our users to replace your current stage with the new Dynamic widget. The Google Gadget and other plugins are ready.

Coming weeks we will launch new services and we STRONGLY reccomend you to submit your RSS Feeds inside Scoutle or you may miss some features and traffic!

New features coming up; Submit your blog RSS Feed!

Godfried van Loo — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 22:04:52 +0000

We will go into details later, but we would strongly advice all users to submit/install the RSS Feeds of your blog. We will use these feeds to connect blogs in more different ways. Why? Of course, to drive more but most of all more interested visitors to your blog.

You can submit your RSS Feed after login.
- Go to My Scoutle
- Go to My Blogs
- Click “Edit” and follow directions.

More details about the new features later.
