We have a new MySpace proxy… Now using Zelune!
Posted by Shannon on Oct 20, 2007
Hey folks,
Just a quick note to let you guys know that I’ve switched the proxy script from phproxy to Zelune for our MySpace Proxy. The Zelune proxy works much better from my tests to unblock MySpace.
I’d like to hear from you though. Do you like the new one better? What about other sites, is there another site that has a much better script than what we’re using?

MySpace / Facebook Proxy Fixed?
Posted by Shannon on Oct 16, 2007
I just spoke with my hosting company and they ran a few fixes on my account. They’re hoping this will fix the issue.
I haven’t noticed it since, so hopefully it is resolved.
If you get this error again, please let me know. Leave your comments here.
Thanks,

I’ve noticed that my host is starting to give an error when using the proxies.

An internal server error has occured!
Please try again later.
Just refresh the page if you get this error. One of the easiest way to refresh is by pressing F5 on your keyboard.

uShibby’s New Theme
Posted by Shannon on Oct 16, 2007
Ok Folks,
Here’s what I’ve done so far. I have a new theme selected. I went for a plain simple theme that’s easy to work with. What do you think?
I have a Facebook Proxy, MySpace Proxy, and now I’ve added a Bebo Proxy as well. I just uploaded the phproxy script and didn’t test it yet, so it might not work for Bebo. Sorry it’s 2:35am right now so I’m not really interested in testing it! lol
Although each of these proxies are all using the same script, I’m planning on tweaking each of them to work their best for each social site. Plus, I’ve been playing around with a few more proxy scripts that I found. If I find a script that works better than phproxy, I’ll switch it over.
I know the current scripts have their limitations and there are a lot of things that don’t work when you’re on the site, but hey any access is better than no access! 
Later guys,
~Shannon
uShibby is changing!
Posted by Shannon on Oct 11, 2007
I created uShibby back in spring before facebook apps were released. At the time the main purpose of the site was to collect all the cool and fun things people were doing while using facebook.
Majority of the site’s content was around wall art that people used to post on their friends profiles.
Since facebook apps has been released there has been numerous applications created that are much better than the wall art. Because of this it appears the wall art, riddles, surveys, etc are pretty much dying out.
I’ve noticed this trend in my traffic as well, but there has been one part of my site that continues to stay strong. And that’s my facebook proxy section.
I use proxies myself because I’m blocked from many of the social sites at work.
So, I’ve decided to change the main focus of uShibby. uShibby will no longer be just facebook fun anymore. Instead uShibby will now be a social proxy site.
I already have a facebook proxy and a myspace proxy setup on the site. Currently they’re pretty basic and I haven’t modified the script yet.
I plan to create custom proxies for the social sites (facebook, myspace, youtube, etc). I will modify each script to get the best results from each site.
Because each site is unique the default phproxy script doesn’t work the best. I’m hoping with a little tweaking of the script I can get each proxy to work it’s best for each social site.
And you have my personal guarantee that I will not keep track of anything that you type into my proxies! It was always a concern of mine when I used to use other site’s proxies that they were tracking everything I typed into their script (because it’s really easy to do). At least by using my scripts, you don’t have to worry about this.
Take care!
