more stuff

Its been a week plus since my last post. Personafile is busy. We are clocking about 450 new members a day. We are generating thousands of page views per day and have added some server capacity to accomodate the demand. We've added about 1,300 new products across 6 manufacturers since my last post. That number doesn't include the member requested products, which run about 10 a day. We have been able to keep up with that, so if, in fact, you add a product request (the ++ button on a search results page) we should be able to get your product in Personafile within about 48 hours (and you will be notified when you request is completed).

We've also added a new section to our main website (some might call it the "marketing site" at www.personafile.com) called "Product Recalls". This can be found at: http://www.personafile.com/product-recalls.html. This section provides an overall summary of product recalls (most from the Consumer Product Safety Commission) and [i] links to associated products within the Personafile product database. Of course, members of Personafile don't have to proactively check- just add products of interest to your Personafile and Personafile Reports will take care of the rest.

We are just getting started with the product recall information. This section is going to expand dramatically over the next several weeks and hopefully it will be an aid to consumers everywhere.

Speaking of 'everywhere': about 40% of our membership is outside of the US. Obviously you all can read English well enough to get by, but several of you have asked for localized versions. In our case, this is a very hard problem and we don't intend to tackle it soon. The problem isn't just pages in Italian (to pick one), but product database changes for "localized" versions of products (where model numbers, etc. change from country to country). We've had some discussions about this but have not arrived at an approach or course of action. So we apologize for the rather "USA" look and feel to our system and hope you can get by for now.
