Wow! What an awesome first week of the TrakQR Private Beta! We are having a blast learning from you all and your feedback has been extremely helpful! We really appreciate everyone who has joined TrakQR and we love that you all are sharing about our service! This is our first official update to TrakQR so we wanted to keep our early adopters informed. Based on the feedback we have received so far we have fixed a few bugs and updated the functionality of a few of the code types. Here’s a list of things we have addressed and fixed in this update:

• Clicking on “Test Code” now opens in a new window/tab so that you can continue tweaking your code in your current view
• You can now point “Website URL” codes to secure addresses (https://)
• Including &’s and #’s (hashtags) in your “Compose a Tweet” code is now possible
• Email Address & Phone Number bug in “Contact Details” codes have been fixed
• 140 character limit on “Compose a Tweet” codes now displays correctly

In addition to these bug fixes we have been working on some improvements on the back-end to help us as we grow throughout the closed and eventually open beta phases of TrakQR. The biggest improvement is our brand new shiny servers (yeah, we’re pretty pumped!) Thanks to all of you who have adopted TrakQR and shared our service with your peers we have grown so quickly that we’ve had to upgrade our servers three months ahead of schedule! We have moved into the amazing Rackspace Cloud and our new servers are much faster and will allow us the scalability we need for the future - meaning less interruption for you! We have also optimized the way we store the codes your create. This allows us to add features with ease to both the codes and the analytics over the coming months. We have some awesome stuff coming your way soon and we are excited! Keep sending us your feedback - we love to hear from our users!

Thanks again,
Steven, Abbi, Craig & Yancey
