Service Updates in the Next Few Weeks

You may have noticed new features are being added at a slower pace lately. Reason is that I’ve been thinking about the next iteration of Cligs and been doing some prelimenary research to see which option is best.

Well now I’ve made a decision about how to restructure the service. The restructuring will be mostly transparent but will allow Cligs to grow in three ways:

• Handle more traffic with less downtime. Cligs has gone offline for a few minutes occasionally and the new system will be better at handling more traffic more efficiently.
• New analytics. Cligs users love data and graphs - surprise! - and the new Cligs will be built to let me roll out new analytics. This is a long term goal and again, one that will continue to evolve.
• New services. In a nutshell, short URLs is just the starting point of a set of a tools I think are missing from our online marketing toolkits

So what does this mean for you, the user? There are three answers:

• Short term (next few weeks): Nothing is changing.
• The switch: There will come a point when Cligs will move to the new system. I don’t have an exact plan yet, but no doubt there will be some kind of disruption that I will keep to a minimum. Leading up to the switch, I’ll post the plan publicly.
• Long term: It’s only going to get better! I hope you stick around!

That’s it for now. If you have questions, post them in the comments below or contact me directly.
