Marketing Update 1
October 18, 2009
Hi All,
Now that version 4 of Passwordstate is released, it’s time to start spending some time trying to promote it. Below is a list of tasks I’ll start with, and I’d appreciate if any of you had some ideas you could share:
- Currently in the process of signing up with http://softwaresubmit.net, will be choosing the ‘Software Submit Platinum’ and ‘Article Submit Express’ packages – $380.00 US
- Article to be published is titled ‘10 Guidelines for Managing Passwords in the Enterprise‘
- Will start to subscribe to some google alerts related to password management, and see if I can get involved in any discussions
- Have published version 4 of Passwordstate to Mininova – 10 client access license version
- Will try and start giving Passwordstate away to Universities, as I’ve done previously
- Also doing some more studying on Internet Marketing to hopefully help generate some more ideas
That’s about it to start with, and as suggested, any ideas please let me know.

Escalating to Google Support
October 12, 2009
The time has come to escalate my Google Adwords campaign – 4 months after adding 5 ads to Google adwords, only 2 have been approved so far.
I’ve created a support call with Google, and they responded within a few hours to say they are escalating the approval of the last 3 ads.
Has anyone had any other similar problems – is it normal? Also, does anyone have experience with Bing pay-per-click?
Thanks
Mark

Dev Update 3
August 25, 2009
Hi All,
I’ve finally finished 40.14 – New Passwords Home Page. Users can now set their home page to be one of the following:
- Passwords Home Page
- Personal Passwords
- Shared Password Lists
- Specific Shared Password List
To see what functionality is available on the new Passwords Home Page, check the Development page. To see a screenshot, click here Passwords Home Page.
A couple of other small changes are:
- Every time a user view’s a personal or shared password, an audit record is added
- If a password record has associated notes, a graphic will be displayed next to the ‘Description’ field in the grid, and hovering over the graphic will display the note
- A graphic will be displayed next to the ‘Description’ field highlighting if the password has been tagged as a ‘Favourite’ password
Dev Update 2
August 5, 2009
Hi All,
Quick update on what I’ve been working on lately:
40.12 : Audit Visibility for all Users – Audit information should be available to all users for their Personal Passwords, and Shared Password Lists they have access to
40.13 : Expiring Passwords Calendar View – Have a calendar view for expiring personal and shared passwords, giving the user a more logical time-based view
I’ve also revisited ‘40.01 – Visual Password Strength’ and added a visual strength indicator to each grid object. So now at a glance you can see the strength of all your passwords. I’ll also develop some reporting around password strength in the upcoming branches.
For a preview of the visual password strength, please click on the following link – Visual Password Strength.
