uShibby Proxy Newsletter

Posted by Shannon on Mar 4, 2008

Do you use uShibby’s Proxies to access your favorite sites at work or school? Of course you do, but I’m sure you know as well that your work or school will probably block this site eventually.

Wouldn’t you want a whole database of proxy sites on hand for when your company/school goes crazy again and blocks everything?

Subscribe to our newsletter (on the right) and I’ll send you new proxy sites every week. I have a database of over 4000 proxy sites that you can use.


MySpace Proxy Song

Posted by Shannon on Nov 30, 2007

Oh, I wish I were a myspace proxy,
That’s what I truly want to be.
Because if I were a myspace proxy,
Everyone would be using me.

Tweaked our MySpace Proxy

Posted by Shannon on Nov 9, 2007

I spent an hour today tweaking the code for our MySpace proxy and pleased to say that it’s running faster.  Not by much, but I noticed a little difference switching between pages.


MySpace Proxy: TheBestProxy

Posted by Shannon on Oct 30, 2007

I’ve been using TheBestProxy for the last couple days to access the digital point forums and found this proxy to be very fast so I thought I would try it as a MySpace Proxy. I was able to access the site without problem and received no errors logging into my MySpace profile.

I didn’t have time to play around with it much, but I clicked around my profile and everything appears to be working fine so TheBestProxy does seem like a good alternative to unblock MySpace.

For those of you wondering why I didn’t just use my own MySpace Proxy… It’s because my domain (ushibby) is blocked by my work firewalls! ;)


Hey Boss/Teacher - MySpace and Facebook are being used responsibly at work/school!

Posted by Shannon on Oct 20, 2007

I noticed an interesting trend in the usage of my site and my proxies. Many employers and schools block access to social sites such as MySpace and Facebook because they feel these sites are distracting their employees/students.

While I agree that some people will be distracted and probably be on it every second of the day, my data shows that majority are using it responsibility.

I receive majority of my traffic from the United States and it’s about evenly spread out across the country.

What I’m noticing is that majority of my users are on the site for about 20-40 minutes at a time and a big percentage of this traffic is between the hours of 10AM - 3PM.

So… This is telling me that majority of my users are on MySpace and Facebook during their lunch break.

So.. Mr. Boss / Teacher, What do you have to say now? What’s that, you were wrong? and, and.. You’re sorry for accusing us of not doing our jobs. Yeah right… when has your boss or teacher ever apologized for being wrong with something. :)
