Price changes for your service can be a very delicate ordeal. What's the right price, what about your existing users?
At Graphdat we rolled out a new pricing scheme and decided to reward our early adopters, to give back to the community that helped us grow and give our product away for free.
Every agent they had running, we zero rated it and will not charge them for it. Not now, not ever. It's theirs to keep as long was they keep using Graphdat.
We have been hard at work on building out our newest feature, giving users the ability to embed our graphs anywhere.
Many of your have your own dashboards, your own way to view your data and maybe you are SUPER proud of the performance you have achieved and just want to share it with the world.
Tickets & Wiki: http://www.uservoice.com
Its a love/hate relationship with uservoice. They make some things easy, others are so arcane. I'm adding in a wiki article right now with some images in it. But uservoice doesn't let you host an image, so I put it into an S3 bucket, add the link to uservoice and there is a security error. I go back to the bucket, reset the security settings and uservoice is caching the image error and wont let me add the images, so I need to edit the source. So hard for something so simple.
Team Communication: https://www.flowdock.com/
We were using Campfire, but we like flowdock much better. Threaded conversations are still tough, I actually miss Google Wave. We had 1 wave a day, it starts to grow on you.
Log Aggregation: http://graylog2.org/
Very cool once you get it all working together
Server Metrics and Application Analytics: http://www.graphdat.com
We dog food our own product, so it's our servers on the homepage..
Some other notable candidates:
'your personal website': http://backstit.ch/
