Actually, we want to do more than just thank you. We want to invite you to a special cocktail reception that Trackur’s hosting at PubCon this year. It’s a chance for you to learn about Trackur, network, and enjoy free drinks and snacks!

Here are the details:

Where: ENVY Lounge located at the Renaissance Hotel–next door to the convention center.

When: Wednesday November 11th from 5:30pm to 7:30pm.

What: Beer, wine and snacks.

Who: All PubCon attendees.

Why: Because you are awesome!

Make a note in your calendar, share it on Twitter, and please join us on the 11th!

You can still use the “Exclude Domains” filter for the times you only need to remove one or two domain names, but you may find the new feature a little easier. Simply look for the red “x” next to any source that you wish to exclude from your Trackur results. Click that “x” and you won’t see that source in your results again!

If you make a mistake–say, you accidentally exclude “Twitter.com”–you can edit your list of excluded domain names by clicking the “Excluded Domains” link at the top right of your Trackur dashboard. Once there, you’ll see a list of all the domains you’ve excluded. You can add domains, remove, or even cut and paste your own list!

We hope you find the new option makes it a little easier to filter out duplication and spam results.

We have many more updates we’re working on, so stay tuned to this blog or our Twitter account!

If you’re on our Agency plan, you can now grant access to a single profile, without having to share your master login credentials. For example, you can now set up your client “Blue Widgets Inc” with their own username and password. That username and password will grant them access to the corresponding “Profile” and they’ll be able to log in and use Trackur. Their access will be limited to just that profile.

We think this is going to be a huge benefit to our Agency customers. Effectively, you pay a single low monthly fee for unlimited use and unlimited client profiles, then, if you so wish, you can share your plan with your clients! If you have the type of client that needs more than just the reports you send them, you can now grant them access to Trackur–safe in the knowledge that the client can’t see any of your other client’s information!

We have more exciting upgrades in the works, so please stay tuned to this blog!

We wish we could hand out more prizes, but we need to keep some funds so we can keep adding new features and options to Trackur. What we can do though is offer a special reward to all those that entered–our way of saying “thank you” for your support.

So, everyone that entered the #trackurtrivia sweepstakes is eligible for this special promotion. Sign-up for any paid Trackur plan and we’ll double the number of saved searches on that plan. For example, sign up for Trackur Enterprise and we’ll give you 300 saved searches, instead of 150.

The offer is good for the next two weeks. To claim your reward, simply email your Trackur username to support AT trackur.com.

Thanks again to everyone that entered. We’ll do another cool prize giveaway soon.

Get ready for the Trackur Twitter Sweepstakes!

Starting Wednesday September 23rd we’re giving away 14 fantastic prizes over a one week period. Each week day (23rd, 24th, 25th, 28th, 29th, 30th, Oct 1st) we’ll randomly announce two new questions that are as easy to answer as Trackur is to use. The questions will be announced via our official @Trackur Twitter account and will use the hashtag #TrackurTrivia.

When you see that tweet, you’ll have 60 minutes to answer the question in the following format:

#TrackurTrivia @Trackur: [Your Answer]

Easy, huh? We’ll then randomly pick a winner and award a prize. Want to know what you’re playing for?

• 1 x 32″ HD Flat Panel Television - just in time for football season!
• 1 x Slingbox media player - watch your favorite TV programs anywhere in the world!
• 1 x iPod Nano - the new ones let you record video!
• 1 x Nikon Coolpix digital camera - perfect for capturing those Fall colors
• 1 x iPod Shuffle - so small you need to be careful you don’t lose it!
• 1 x Trackur Enterprise account for one year!
• 3 x Trackur Corporate accounts for one year!
• 5 x Trackur Personal accounts for one year!

Remember, all questions will be announced via our @Trackur account on Twitter, so you should probably “follow us” right away. New to Twitter, you can sign-up here.

Good luck everyone!

 No purchase necessary. Open only to legal residents of the 50 US and DC 18+. See Official Rules for details.

1. All Trackur plans now update every 30 minutes. This is a huge improvement for our Personal and Corporate plans–which used to update 12 hours and 6 hours respectively. Now everyone gets close to real-time results in their Trackur dashboard!
2. We’ve added identification of the type of item discovered. You’ll now see each result tagged with either News (for mainstream media and blogs), Media (for images and video), and Tweet (for Twitter results). This should make it easier for you to work through your dashboard.
3. In case the tags are not enough, we’ve also changed the “Advanced Search” options so you can better refine the source of your Trackur results.

We continue to add new features to Trackur. If you have a suggestion, please share it with us!

We’re in the middle of rolling out some new features and in the process we’ve accidentally killed your ability to save new searches. Yeah, not one of our better days.

We’re working to restore this as soon as possible and will update this post when fixed.

Thanks for your patience!

It might still take a day or two for things to catch-up, so keep your fingers crossed that Twitter has the put the worst behind it.

We expect this to self-correct once Twitter is fully back online. We will be watching this closely.
