Widget update
If you’re using Headup you’ll be pleased to know yesterday we published an update to our widgets that improves a few important aspects of how the widget performs on your site.
Freshness
One of the most important changes in Headup’s performance has to do with how often we refresh the widgets that appear on your site. With this new version Headup is updated on your home-page every 2 hours, and on all your other pages, every day.
Maps
Behavior of maps for location related topics has been improved.

Widget Customization
The positioning of your logo in the widget has been fixed.
Data Improvements
We’ve made further improvements to, what our development guys like calling, our “Entity Extraction Capabilities”. Translated into English this means we make less mistakes about what we choose to highlight, and how we refer to it. If you’re the type of person interested in this kind of stuff you might enjoy visiting our website’s spanking new “Technology” section which explain at great length exactly how we do what we do.
Apology
Yesterday we encountered some troubles related to our recent increases in volumes, that caused Headup’s service to fail for about two hours. We’ve spent a fair share of our time since at re-deploying ourselves on a more powerful setup that is better equipped at handling our new loads. We’re sorry for this downtime and hope none of you was overly affected by it.
