Klostu was selected for the launchpad event at the prestigious Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco. BoardTracker is the leading forum discussion search engine and an essential tool to find valuable information among the billions of forum posts on the boardscape.

BoardTracker provides a number of 'mods' for various message board systems (phpbb, invision, vbulletin etc) enabling board admins to easily and seemlessly integrate BoardTracker search within their board as well as providing forum tagging (with tag search and tag clouds etc.) and other features. BoardTracker search syndication allows for local search AND embedded global search if the board admin chooses.

Popularity is determined by the number of forum discussions about an item and links to the original discussions are provided so viewers can easily join the conversation on the relevant forums. Search and tags are provided to enhance the user experience and provide a simple way to discover whats hot on the boardscape. The data used to power forumeter is extracted from the boardscape through the BoardTracker API. ServerMojo is a popular server monitoring and alerts service and an essential tool for any sysadmin or site owner. With both free and premium options, users can define monitor intervals and types, choose to be alerted by email, IM or SMS and are provided with charts showing server uptimes and access speeds over time. Pidgin Monitoring System is a server health monitoring software which is installed on servers to collect various data (load, traffic, cpu and memory usage etc) and provide charts for all your servers in a central location, giving you an easy overview of all your systems.
