Beta program closed

2005-12-14T11:42:00.000-08:00

Dear Beta users,

Thank you for your interest in dCloak! The usage has greatly exceeded our initial estimate.

The Beta program is currently closed to new user registration; current Beta users may continue to use their existing login. We are modifying dCloak based on user feedback and plan to launch the official v1.0 product in the first quarter of 2006. No new modifications or maintenance releases will be made to the existing Beta product during this period.

Thank you for your support and please continue to let us know of your feedback during this period.

Version Update 0.6 beta

2005-12-09T10:19:00.000-08:00

CompetitorWatch module: competitor ranking now normailized based on competitors' positions in search results returned from Google, Yahoo and MSN.

Monkey feature now generated optimized, ghost pages based on hypernym, hyponym and synonym.

Basic crawling capability added for sites with frames and flash.

"Add a site" now allows one to crawls subfolders within the starting domain, e.g. www.yahoo.com/mypage/ (It used to be that with such URL entry, only the starting domain, in this case www.yahoo.com, will be crawled.)

Various user interface enhancements, e.g. instructive icons and tooltips in the "Edit Body Copy" page.

FAQ section now added to the navigation header.

Tell-a-friend feature added on the entry page so that it is more convenient for you to invite other beta users (as we will be closing the free Beta program sometime before the official 1.0 launch).

Version Update 0.5.2 beta

2005-12-02T19:43:00.000-08:00

Interface
Optimize button now inactive when crawling sites.

Version Update 0.5.1 beta

2005-12-01T15:43:00.000-08:00

Monkey “One Touch” Optimization Button

Updated one touch Monkey Button to work as a backend process. This means that you can trigger it and leave the site and it will continue working.

We now email you when your Monkey Optimization is finished. Email will indicate which pages have been optimized on your site, any errors generated during optimization, an attachment containing all crawled and optimized pages, and all the raw keywords generated.

Dipsie Bot

We have updated the dipsie.bot so that we send an email to consumers when a site crawl is finished or crawling issues have been detected.

Site function buttons are now faded while crawling to indicate they are inactive. They will update to active when crawl is complete.

“Crawling…” indicator under site name has been updated to indicate the time the crawl-request was initiated by user.

Known dCloak Beta Issues

2005-11-24T19:21:00.000-08:00

After you add a site, if the wording below your newly added site still says "crawling" after a while, say 30 minutes, it is most likely that Dipsie Bot, as of this version, couldn't process your website completely. If you run into this scenario, please email us to report the website so that we can diagnose the possible cause.

Email Validation Issue RESOLVED

2005-11-23T14:12:00.000-08:00

SMTP Servers were having some outbound issues. Now resolved. Those who signed up yesterday morning and early afternoon should have received a resend of their Validation message.

Dipsie dCloak Beta Launch!

2005-11-23T10:44:00.000-08:00

Yesterday, Dipsie officially launched dCloak Beta!

The response from the user community was great! Some users, though, experienced sign-up problems while some did not receive validation emails. We have fixed those problems and will soon email signed-up yet un-verified accounts their respective validation messages today.

Thanks for your patience and hope that you can continue to help us improve the user experience, usability and quality of Dipsie products in the exciting days to come.
