We’re on the move! Gibbity is coming out of beta within the next 48 hours and moving to its new home with a different provider.
I really believe that the gibbity concept has a lot of potential, and I’m willing to put my money where my mouth is, so to speak. With that in mind, I’m shelling out some more cash to give gibbity a server separate from my current dedicated machine (which is already running quite close to capacity … highfiber alone chugs through over 11gb of bandwidth per day). So making the move to a separate machine was the first step, in my mind.
The next step is, of course, pimping the site to as many people as I can. So if you receive an invitation email from me next week, please don’t be offended :)
And if you haven’t checked it out already, gibbity is viewable (at least until I start the server-transfer) right here. I’m actually pretty proud of how Frankenstein-ian the whole site is: each game page is assembled from data coming in from Amazon, MSN Search, Google Blogsearch, Yahoo Search, Technorati and Wikipedia, and I’m currently working on adding feeds from Del.icio.us and IceRocket as well (if I can just figure out how to kill off IceRocket’s foreign-language-infested results). Of course, the most important part of the site is still the user-generated popularity lists and clouds.
