In case you haven’t heard about our Halloween pumpkin carving contest last week, we wanted to share some fun photos of the event. We had a great time teaming up to compete for bragging rights (the 2 BEST DomainTools Halloween pumpkins of 2011)—topped off with Halloween cake and a birthday toast to Brian, our office manager!

How Many Active Visitors are on Your Site Right Now?

We found out the answer to that question the other day, having gained access to Google Analytics Real-Time. It was amazing to see the number of site visitors flicker from moment to moment. Ah, the moment we have been waiting for finally  came true- here’s the evidence!

Yesterday, here was a snapshot of how many people were on DomainTools.comDomainTools.com  when we first accessed the Right Now beta, around noon Pacific Time:

And today, around 9:30 a.m. Pacific Time, encroaching on 3k again…

So far, we are thrilled to be able to see a live pulse of our website anytime we like. Next up: we’ll look into the real-time reports. If you’d like to know immediate impact to site traffic, access real-time reports, we’d recommend looking into Google Analytics Real Time. Right now it’s still in early beta but you can sign up for early access to the beta here.

DomainTools Tribute to Steve Jobs

October 7th, 2011 by Monica

There is no doubt that word has spread across the globe about the passing of Apple’s visionary leader, Steve Jobs, on October 5, 2011. At DomainTools, we fully acknowledge his impact on the industry and we read about the news online just as it broke. It’s a clear indicator of how quickly news can spread via the Internet.

To honor Steve, we wanted to share these images from across the Web that illustrate his impact on the world. We created this album leveraging DomainTools’ Screenshot History tool. On the screenshots below, you can click on the image to see the website’s screenshot history over time.

To see additional Steve Jobs screenshot images from Wednesday, be sure to visit our Facebook album online.
