Yikes. Been too long since I've updated the news page. Apologies to everyone! ...

We are doing a beta of the "zooLert Habitat" - The exhibit YOU build! (Hey, we have to keep a theme here, ok?) We have a few more slots so.... Drop us a line at beta@zoolert.com if you want in!

08/03/08 - New beta test
In an effort to keep pushing the limits of what trackers are known to do, zooLert has a beta program started to ..... Well. It's some pretty cool stuff. :) The SMS beta is going along well and we hope to roll it out soon! This new beta however we feel will not only help people find things, but also save money! Interested? Hit us up at beta@zoolert.com.
07/22/08 - Widgets
In case you missed it, we are making these funky little widget things. Pretty neat. It's basically a way to view our RSS feeds. We can't speak on how often a widget is checking for new RSS information... So, we can't say its the best way to track stock based on our info, but, it might provide a way to show your zooLert pride or a quick reminder to check things on your favorite myspace/facebook/homepage/etc site!
07/19/08 - Server upgrade
We can't believe the rate at which we are growing! So..... We want to make sure everyone has the best experience possible so we will be upgrading our server at 11PM EST this evening. We hope it won't take too long so if you don't see us this evening, just give it a few mins and try again!
07/14/08 - ... And we're getting into a quiet time again?
Looks like things are slowing down again online for a couple of hours at least so I thought I would say hello to everyone that makes it to this page. Hello! In all seriousness, some of the quiet times are letting us continue hammering away at things.... So - that's what we're doing! Need us? Drop us a line!
07/09/08 - Mobile Alert BETA!!!
Going to try to keep this short tonight... We opened a beta program for SMS alerts... Want to know more? Check it out!
07/07/08 - New alerts added.. for.. zooLert?
Well to those of you that make it here... Thank you! :) I'm going to continue adding things that are "news" here. We also opened a little new area on the main page. We are referring to it as zooLert alerts. Yea, cute, right? Well, we need a way to make sure thht everyone sees the REAL important up to the min stuff on a main page... And... What better main page? To those of you that do make it here from time to time to check up on generic news... Fret not. I will not forget about you! :)
07/03/08 - :D :D :D
Ok. I think I'm gonna stop making predictions. People are going to think I have REAL inside information!!! I swear, I do not. Nor does anyone on zooLert Team - so don't think we are being tricky about it! Anyway, we are THRILLED that SO MANY of you were able to score today!!!! And to all of you that emailed in and stopped by the forums... Extra special thanks to you. We have only received some input on some cancellations of buy.com. People are starting to go on the forums to swap stories. We're as bummed as you are if this happened to you. Perhaps more. If we could all give those of you getting cancellations a Wii Fit, we would. :( Only thing we can say is - we don't control the site's stock (as you know), and just keep an eye out for the next place to say they have it! It will happen. It will happen. No predictions. And if I could give a SUGGESTION... Might want to call your local TRU ASAP. They will likely have them in stock Friday, Saturday or Sunday or multiples of those this weekend of the Wii Fit. Oh yea. If we don't make an update tomorrow, to yours and your family - have a safe and fun 4th!
07/02/08 - Some notes about the state of affairs..
Just a quick note to everyone. Contrary to VERY popular belief, we don't control the universe let alone how internet companies do their display of having stock or not having stock. That said, we've had some... ahem, excitement, over how Toys R Us and Sears and others will sometimes show up as an alert from zooLert..... When... Sadly, they only have a few to go around. So.. How do you handle it? We came up with this. You'll find all the background and how it all went down... And - you'll get an opporunity to talk to the guys and gals of the Zoo one on one if you want! And the other fine patrons that frequent the forums to swap stock status and all of the wonders of the world!
07/01/08 - Who's got the power?!
As predicted a couple of days back... Wii Fits abound! Walmart, Sears, and more! Didn't get yours yet? .... I would be willing to bet this will be a trend for the next few days. We'll see! Working with this stuff day in and day out tends to give you a sense of the patterns for sure! We'd also like to give a shoutout to all of the great people that have either emailed us or stopped by the forums for one reason or another! Keep gathering. We'll keep hunting. It's a jungle out there!
06/29/08 - No such thing as bad press? Briefly, I would like to address some recent changes. To those of you that make it over to our forums, you may see a big change. Recently, we had inapprorpriate content posted on our forums. In an effort to keep a clean environment for everyone to enjoy, we had to remove some users. To be fair to all parties, all of their content was erased.
You may have also noticed some comments in the wild, wild internet about zooLert. Looks like there is no such thing as bad press! We continue to grow at an even faster rate than recent days! We realize you can't please everyone. It just makes us try harder.
06/22/08 - The call of the wild! 06/19/08 - WOW-EEE. MORE Wii Fits!! 06/16/08 - Walmart hits with a WiiFit! 06/13/08 - What a big difference a couple of days makes! Wii Fits and Wiis abound!
First off - Wheres the Fits? Good question! There was some sightings at a few stores this Sunday such as
You've asked for it. And we're listening! We now give audible alerts of the wild web animals when we find things in stock on our tracker pages! Go give it a shot! Try our Wii Fit Tracker for an example! And, please, keep those ideas coming!
Today was another great day for Wii Fits. Amazon, Circuit City.. Wow. We really hope that all of you that managed to get one enjoy it! We know there was a LOT of you that got em. Don't forget to check our Alert Status section on the forums to talk with other zooLert'ers!! Oh yea. Did we mention we are working on a shirt?! Check it out! As always, email us anything that is on your mind.
Wowsers. That Wii Fit almost lasted like 10 whole minutes! =o Anyway, we can't say THANK YOU ENOUGH TO EVERYONE OUT THERE. Understandably, some of you drop yourselves from the list after getting the alert and move on... By all means! But, it looks like many of you are also telling friends. And for that, you are doing us the best thank you that you could do! Haven't gotten yours yet? Don't lose the faith - just keep watchin for those alerts!
So .. Looks like it was a good prediction. There was a slew of Wii Fits and Wiis that came through over the past couple of days. I'm really thrilled that so many of you wrote in to say you got them. In case you haven't been looking, we just rolled out a new logo that we will look to use going forward. Our "main" logo is still the main one... This is just for people to instantly know what we are about. It's on the right side of the forums. This one was designed by our graphics guy, Erik, like the rest. We're currently asking what people think, so, drop in and let us know! We want to say thanks to everyone for using and recommending us and embracing us so quick. Now, go forth and go spread the good word! Oh yea. And go gather yours.
06/10/08 - We got lots of people waitin' for wii fits... And, not so many wiis fits :(
Just in case you don't make it over to the dynamic place to discuss alert status, it's been reallllllllllly quiet on the home front for Wii Fits. My guess? That means we might get slammed with alerts soon. ... So, keep an eye out! (Keep in mind, I unfortunately don't have any inside info. If anything, I read that Nintendo is making more $$$ by shipping 4 Wii Fits overseas for every Wii Fit the U.S. sees)
06/04/08 - Forum emails. Knockin' em down!
Looks like we stomped another bug. This time in our forums. Certain mail hosts weren't taking our emails in... And it wasn't SPF related like a few days back. It was really odd.. Anyway, lots of blood, sweat and tears and we believe we have it nailed! Woo Hoo!
06/03/08 - Wow BUSY day! Wii Fit SCORES!
We hope everyone that has been on the hunt for Wii Fits got lucky today. We know a LOT of you got our alerts either for walmart, target, or sears. Speaking of sears, yes... They are problematic. They say they have stock when they don't.... Our advice? Keep trying. However, keep in mind Sears is notorious for leaving an "In Stock" message on their product pages while you are unable to checkout. We are still finding the best way to deal with this... Please feel free to contact as always! Let us know! We're listening!
05/30/08 - Never a dull moment. Hotmail email issues. SPF Record Updated (tech speak for those that care!) + UPDATE
UPDATE : A test email to a hotmail address was successful. Unfortunately, it went to the spam folder. To ensure you are getting our alerts, please add us to your friends list. Thanks!
Being popular has its problems too. Hotmail is temporarily blocking our email. We ask that please, if you no longer want to receive our alerts that have been signed up for, please unsubscribe rather than marking as spam! Thanks. We are working to fix this ASAP. (For the geeks (Or Hotmail reps) out there, we updated our SPF record and should be back to hotmail very soon.) We also understand we need to make it easier to unsubscribe (you can always send a blank email to listname-unsubcribe@zoolert.com)- that is coming ASAP too. On another happy note, our forums are bumpin!
05/27/08 - Look ma, we're on the Internet!
Odd how you can get so excited about being on the internet when you are well.... On the internet! Anyway, check out this great review that Candace Savino did on us at Nintendo Wii Fanboy. We didn't even have to beg or pay. Way to go Candace!
05/21/08 - Long time, no update! Let's update!
For those that have been with us over the past couple of months, thanks! You probably see a lot of changes! For those that haven't, we've made a lot of changes! :) We've added new hot products like Wii Fit and we even have a new logo! Wow! Aren't we fancy! Some of you have even stopped over to the forums. Thanks! We have SO much more planned... So stay tuned. We are doing everything we can to make sure we help YOU get the stuff you want - cheaper, better, faster, greater-er (Ok maybe the last one is hard).
03/27/08 - Forums are live!
We want people to have a place to talk. We want to invite you to stay for a while. Take a load off. Talk about your scores. Talk about other deals. Meet life long friends. Enjoy. Live. Hop over to our forums.
03/17/08 - RSS feed is live!
Our Nintendo Wii RSS feed live. Have any questions or comments? Please feel free to contact as always! Let us know!
03/17/08 - What the samsclub!?
Mmmm. Looks like samsclub changed the way they do things on us today. So, we made some changes. You shouldn't get all the false positives anymore from samsclub.com. If you do, please let us know!
