New features and growth

New features
We have a great new feature released today enabling you to check what links to a domain with a given record, here are a couple of examples to get you going:

Listing users of Google Apps Mail (GMail):

Domains pointing at Googles nameservers:

Database Growth

On Monday we exceeded the 50 million domains mark - and the good news is we have over 50 million more domains waiting to be processed so once the initial run is complete we should have well over 100 million domains available for you to check up on

Database reset

The database was reset earlier after we found a bug relating to the database locking. This has now been resolved and we are continuing to crawl the DNS and add new domains.

Public Alpha

We opened up the website yesterday to the public and exposed a couple of inward links to get a little traffic to the site. It seems to have gone OK although we only had 12million domains indexed so most of the sites searched for hadn't been indexed.
