They are broken. Very broken.

The post count (total) is correct, but the individual user is not correct, by any means.

I will get on that tonight.

Thanks for your patience.

The stats page is running pretty slowly right now and I am in the midst of trying to optimize what we are doing on the site to get it working more quickly.  The page is still not functioning to its best ability, so expect some more dev notes on it and some changes in the next couple weeks.

On a more exciting and useful note, I introduced reply links into the stream on Friday!  Right now they simply link to your Twitter profile page and add an @<requestersName> to your tweetbox. This will allow you, if you are logged in, to click and reply to prayer requests as they come across the stream.  I hope this allows users of twitterpray to more easily get involved in encouraging others and letting others know you are praying for them.  (Minor note: If you click reply and are not logged in, it will still work. Just input your twitter info and it will put the appropriate twitter name in your tweetbox, as normal.)

Hope you all are praying! Let me know know if you have any ideas or thoughts.

Thanks,
Michael

Hey everyone,

Twitterpray.com started collecting prayer requests 1 month ago today. While it was still in the pre-beta test phase then, the site was live and collecting prayers.  Since then, the site has launched, thousands of people have been prayed for and almost over 100,000 prayers have been added to the system by searching Twitter.com

Here are some stats from this first month:

Avg Visits per Day: 443
Total Visits: 4000+
Total Unique Visitors (Approx): 600
Total Unique Referers: 130

Total Prayers Requests (at time of post): 99035
Avg Prayer Requests per Day: 3301
Most Frequent Hour of Prayer: 7pm CST

Avg Prayer Requests per Hour: 137

• Avg per Hour (Peak Morning Hours  [6am-11am CST] ): 170
• Avg per Hour (Peak Evening Hours  [6pm-8pm CST] ): 178

Thanks for supporting this site, praying for people that need it, and participating in our prayer feed. Hope you all keep using this site and are able to pray and be prayed for more often because of what we are doing.

I will keep developing. Please keep telling your friends and spreading the word! The more prayers and people praying, the bigger we can build the community around the site.

This is a small update to stats.

I added ajax support to both the total prayer count and the top requesters column, so it will update in real time. So watch as we approach 100,000 prayers detected and logged in only 1 month.
Another post on that point in a bit.

Quick Note:

The Stats page was not working correctly. The Top 10 requesters was not pulling from the User Database correctly. I fixed that and it is updating correctly when you go to the page. It is not set to update using AJAX, so you will have to refresh the page if you want to check and see if someone’s post count has gone up.

Peace

Hi friends,

The feature currently in development (which should appear on the site within the next week) is the ability to reply to someones prayer request from the TwitterPray feed.  There are still some questions on how the best way to implement this is, but I am going to try the simplest, most secure way of doing it first. If I can expand it to be more complex and still stay secure, then I will do that.

Look for more details here, soon.

Thanks for reading!
Please comment here if you have any ideas on how to improve the site! Thanks.
