Domain Matching Update Complete

Submitted by SocialAlerter on Sun, 03/09/2008 - 18:53.

As announced a few days ago, Social Alerter's domain name matching is now exact matching. This has increased the database performance by 10x, and so coupled to last week's 4x increase, we now are talking a significantly faster alerting service - about 40x faster!

Again, the change is as follows: previously, Social Alerter would create an alert for *.domain.com, so an alert for google.com would match www.google.com, mail.google.com, adwords.google.com, etc, in addition to google.com. Now, you have to explicitly specify any subdomains, so an alert for google.com would match only that and not www.google.com.

I hope to be re-instating wild-card matching, with more advanced features in the near future. This change is the first step in a series of improvements coming to Social Alerter.

Questions, bug reports, and all feedback via the contact form please. Thanks!
