• Map markers won't overlap each other entirely.

• Ability to change your name, password, email, and picture.

• A few fairly major new features that we'll be announcing shortly.

Can Trakzor 2.0 identify everyone?

Nope, but it’s a hell of a lot better than the first one.  First of all, nothing can track everyone.  Even if there was some crazy loophole that allowed you to do so, MySpace would block it really, really quickly.

Trakzor 2.0 aims to be the middle ground – not telling you everyone who visits, but giving you a few dead on matches while also giving you enough information to make reasonable estimates as to who the others are.

Additionally, you can now identify your “Unknowns” by referencing your Trakzor visit times against your comment and message times on MySpace.  Those people will then be identified whenever that person visits your page.

And, of course, there’s the new map feature.  Got an old fling that moved to Kalamazoo?  Notice some random person who lives there keeps visiting?  Well, there ya go.

So, it’s not perfect, and it won’t give you black-belt online ninja status, but compared to nothing, it’s a HUGE step in the right direction.

My Trakzor isn't tracking! Why?

If you just installed Trakzor, you told your friend to visit, and you don't see them immediately...be patient. Trakzor visits take at least a few minutes to show up.

If you've had Trakzor for a while and your visits haven't been updated for a few hours...be patient. Occasionally Trakzor visits get a little backlogged. We try to minimize this as much as possible, but we can't guard against this 100% of the time. We'll try to post a note about your visitors when this happens.

If you've had Trakzor for a while and your visits haven't been updated for days...PANIC! Okay, don't panic, but something isn't right. Most likely, you took the code off your profile by accident. If you don't see the Trakzor image when you view your own profile, this is likely the case. Just login to your Trakzor account, go to the "profile code" section, and paste that on your profile. Poof. Trakzor works again.

Trakzor isn't tracking all my visitors.

Here's the thing. If the Trakzor image doesn't load when someone visits, that person isn't going to get tracked. If you have 20 million images/movies/etc. on your page and Trakzor is the last thing there...that could be a problem. Think about it. A person comes to your profile to message you. It'll take them 2 seconds to click on the message link. But, it'll take all the stuff on your page about 30 seconds to load. Something's gotta give.

So, what can you do? Your best bet is simply to put Trakzor as close to the top of your page as possible. That'll help make sure that it's one of the first things loaded and that as many people get tracked as possible.

What's a blue 42?

That's a visitor key to help you determine whether they visit your profile multiple times. If so, you'll see the same key multiple times. If you want the old "MySpace IDs" back that we had up the first day Trakzor 2.0 launched, those were never MySpace IDs :) Sorry for the confusion...

There's really no rhyme or reason to our methods for this. Blue is no different than purple, and pink is no different than red. Basically, we took the users key we generate to keep track of unknown users, hacked off all but the last four digits, and took the first one and turned it into a number. We figured "blue 255" would be easier to remember than "-26251521255."

Whenever I login, it tells me to login again!

Okay, you're likely using Internet Explorer. If not, well, look for something similar in your browser.

1) Click on the Tools menu and select Internet Options.


2) Click on the Privacy tab and the Advanced button.


3) Check override cookie settings and check always allow session cookies. Click OK.


4) You may need to close your browser.

What you have just done is pretty standard. This is how pretty much everyone's computers allow session cookies, especially newer ones. This is how we keep you logged in.

How do I get my MySpace Friend ID when I register?

We did our best to make this really, really easy.  If for some reason you still can’t figure it out, try asking a friend.  I try to reply to as many messages as possible, but if you’re trying to register ASAP, messaging me isn’t going to be your best bet.

How do I get my friends’ MySpace IDs for the privacy list and when I identify them?

Much like you get yours, except since there is no registration process to guide you through it, we try to make it easy on you.  You can just enter their MySpace URL name and we’ll get their ID automatically.  For example, if your friend’s page is http://www.myspace.com/julie, you can either enter that, julie, or the actual long/confusing address that is on the top of your browser when you view her profile.

• Trakzor launched on my birthday, May 10, 2006.

• The "You've been tracked" image has been displayed close to a billion times!

• Trakzor utilizes five different servers - one web, two DB, one geoLocation, and one for images.

• The original Trakzor was made in 3 days. Trakzor 2.0 was made in 3 months.

• The monthly costs to run Trakzor 2.0 are (likely) more than your parents pay for your house and cars.
