We would like to point out some recently added features in the Pingdom control panel. They all fall under the category: HELP!
Instruction videos
Unsure of how to add a check to monitor a website? Don’t know how to add a contact person? Just watch our instruction videos, easily accessible on the start page when you log in to the Pingdom Panel (our control panel).
Help icons all over
Unsure of the correct (or recommended) way to fill in the forms for checks or contacts? Most fields have a nice help icon that will bring up a help text describing what the field is for and how to fill it in. We have also included useful tips and recommended settings.
So, instead of looking through a big, fat manual, just do it the easy way with Pingdom and get help wherever you need it for exactly what you need.
And, if all else fails, there is always our excellent support team. They are here to help, and will keep a close eye on the support AT pingdom DOT com inbox.
Voice talent?
All we need now is a movie trailer voice like that of Don “Thunder Throat” LaFontaine to complement our videos. Anyone care to take up the challenge? Email voice AT pingdom DOT com.
Maybe this guy is interested…

There’s no denying that Google Chrome continues to be the darling of the web browser market. And as we predicted in July last year, Chrome overtook Firefox around November 2011.
So now the question is, when will Google also wrestle down Internet Explorer, and become the undisputed king of the browser world? In December 2011, Chrome 15 became the most popular browser in the world, beating Internet Explorer 8, but if you combine all IE versions, Microsoft still holds the number 1 spot.
Equipped with the latest web browser statistics from StatCounter, we set out to see when Chrome is likely to achieve more than 50% market share.

The New England Patriots held what seemed to be a commanding lead (17-15) with five minutes left of Super Bowl XLVI last night. But the New York Giants came back and managed to win with 21-17.
As exciting as the game sounds, we missed the whole thing, instead spending our time watching the Superbowl.com website.
It turned out to be a rather dull thing to do because the site held up well and there was no downtime at all. The response time also didn’t give away anything significant in terms of online Super Bowl traffic.
