Tyler, thanks for bringing this to my attention, I wouldn’t have known about it otherwise. It looks awesome!
I guess its not a secret anymore then
I was told about 5 minutes ago that it still is confidential!!!!
I actually found out about it last week sometime only by looking at Vincent’s page source for some reason, saw the perculier URL in the code and checked. Never before have I been so impressed by a South African website service – it looks great as well.
Yeah, i kinda figured this was a “secret” given that it is still in Alpha stage!!
It was a secret until today!!!
We’ve been trying to keep under wraps best we can. But cats now officially out the bag. We’re not launching quite yet. Vinnie Maher will explain more on his blog tomorrow… thanks for your support and spread the word!!!!
Dave: Anytime
Eric: Oops..
Matthew: Honestly never knew it was supposed to be a secret.
But I guess it’s created a big positive buzz.
Hey Tyler — we’re glad u broke it!!! thanks for the awesome post on Amatomu.com and let us know if u spot any bugs or have any suggestions for improvement!!! matt
Thanks a lot Matt and I will do with pleasure. Check your inbox, contacted you via the contact page on your blog.
Thanks for the info as I have never heard of them at all.
It’s really an AWESOME website, I have used it for about 2 weeks now on mine, and it is extremely accurate, I’m amazed at the standard of the website!
Shows how much potential we have !

Tyler – quick question on the stats… do you know if there is any way of getting your feed readers (especially feedburner email feed readers) incorporated into the Amatomu/ Afrigator stats?
Cheers – enjoy the weekend!
