We’re happy to say that it’s going extremely well for Pingdom. Our uptime monitoring service keeps growing and growing, and we have some big plans for the future that will pretty much take us off the charts.
This is where YOU come in. We are looking for a few brave, kick-ass web developers and a masterful web designer to join our ranks here in Sweden. In return we can offer you a creative environment and the chance to work with some of the brightest minds in the business.

Do you have a website? Do you like knowing that it’s working ok? Pingdom exists for this very reason, to alert you when your site has downtime, so you can fix it. With this in mind we have released a new application that we call the Pingdom Desktop Notifier, which sits in your Windows system tray.

When Apple introduced push notifications to the iPhone this summer, we immediately thought of what a great match it would be for our monitoring service. After all, the main point of the Pingdom uptime monitoring service is getting alerts when your website or server goes down.
So, when we started work on version 2.0 of our iPhone app, this was one of our top priorities. Now the new version is here, with push notifications, graphs, and more.

Yesterday we announced that you can now get Pingdom alerts via Twitter.
So how do you activate those alerts? We have made it very easy for you:
- Add your Twitter username to your contact(s).
- Select “Twitter” as notification method when editing/adding a site for monitoring.
Alerts via Twitter is an excellent complement to email and SMS alerts. It’s yet another way you can get alerted by Pingdom when your websites or servers go down.

Twitter is an extremely popular service with millions and millions of users, and now those users can get Pingdom alerts delivered right to their Twitter accounts.
Twitter is an excellent complement to Pingdom’s uptime monitoring service, and we’re very happy to open up our service to Twitter’s huge user base. Even better, since Pingdom now has free accounts it becomes a great companion to webmasters with a Twitter account. Getting alerted of website downtime has never been easier and never cost less (i.e. nothing).

Pingdom’s Twitter account has reached a nice little milestone: we now have more than 1,000 followers. 
Sure, we don’t hold a candle to Ashton Kutcher and his 3.5 million followers, but it’s nice to see that more and more people are following the Pingdom team on Twitter. We really appreciate it.

For those of you who use our Mr. Uptime Firefox extension, we just wanted to let you know that we have updated it for Firefox 3.5.
The update was submitted to Mozilla last Friday and is pending approval, but you can already download it directly from the Mr. Uptime website. (It’s free, as it always has been.)
For those of you who don’t know what Mr. Uptime is, it’s a Firefox extension from us here at Pingdom that will tell you when a broken website is working again.

We just wanted to share the magnificent and very extremely important news that Pingdom now has more than 100 followers on Twitter (since yesterday).
A long way to go still (we started very recently), but it’s nevertheless a tiny little milestone that we thought might be fun to share with you. Baby steps.
Did we mention that you can follow us (the Pingdom team) on Twitter…?
