The updated Showzey is here: A little better performance, fixes, and one new feature

We have updated Showzey.com. The site should be a little faster, share emails will not be catches by spam filter, we added Single Click “Delete Account”, and other minor fixes.

Better Performances

Showzey.com performances should be a little better. We have applied ruby mbari patch and did some code optimization.

However, we are still not performing as fast as we should - there is still a memory leak (probably caused by ruby String implementation). We are working on it.

Share email will not be catch by spam filter

We have fixed problem that our share emails were considered as spam by Gmail spam filter. Lesson learned: don’t mess with headers when sending emails via Gmail.

Single Click Delete Account

Now you can delete your account from Showzey in one click. Go to your account menu and select “Delete my account”. That will delete all your photos stored on Showzey storage, all photo links cataloged by Showzey, and authorization and authentication tokens we store in our secure storage. Immediately - no need to wait for Showzey resync with identity providers (Yahoo!, Google, and Facebook) to learn that you revoked Showzey authentication and authorization.

Thanks!

Showzey Team.

Intermitent slownest of the site: update

Actually, the problem we are facing is the following:

(memory leak)

Some processes end up eating ~2G of memory each - which causes slowdown of everything:

We are working on a fix. Hopefully everything will be fixed by end of day today (30th Jan 2010). tomorrow (31st Jan 2010).
