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.

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!

uShibby’s Myspace Proxy!

Posted by Shannon on Oct 9, 2007

We’ve just added a new myspace proxy to our site.  Check it out.  It’s not much at the moment because it’s just the default phproxy script.  In time, I’ll work with it to improve it and change the look.

In the mean time, enjoy! And, oh… Spread the word! :) lol

Later,
~Shannon
