Issue #1 & 3 Resolved

Way back when we first started we had 3 issues posted on our old blog:
#1 - Activation email bounces
#2 - Long URLs
#3 - Slowness

I'm are happy to announce today that 2 issues were resolved, the email bounces and slowness.

Activation via email was removed, instead we just send a confirmation email plus the instructions on how to install the widget on your site. Even if the email bounces the instruction/how-to is still available to users here on our blog.

I addressed the slowness issue by caching the most recent user status then display the cache first which gives that appearance of speed while another event is fired to fetch the user status via Twitter's API which caused us the previous slowness issue. When the API returns the newest status we then update the cache and the display which appears transparent to the user.

We're currently still working on Issue #2 which was held back since we prioritized the setup of our domain and adding issue tracker support.

I hope you like the new fixes, please send us feedbacks so we can make this service better!
