Gnip Beta 2 Launching Today, New www.gnip.com coming

Several new updates to Gnip websites are being released this week that will impact companies and people using the Gnip developer site and the Gnip corporate website.

1) We just started a maintenance on the demo system with a post on the forum and to the @gnipsupport Twitter account.

• The reason for this maintenance period is that we are moving to the next stage of this release and entering Beta 2.  Once we come back online the Beta developer site that is currently hosted at demo.gnip.com will be available at a new location:  http://api.gnip.com.
• We are migrating all the account information to the new site so if you have an existing account on the prior demo site it will be waiting for you at http://api.gnip.com.
• If your integration to the demo Gnip API is being done using our convenience libraries then you will need to manually update your hostname to https://api-v21.gnip.com.
• Documentation is available for the new Gnip version 2.1 API and schema at http://gnip.com/docs
• The new URL, http://api.gnip.com, will be the final destination and future home for the version 2.1 version of the Gnip platform after we conclude Beta 2.  We are making this update now so that the integrations completed to api.gnip.com will contiue to work once we flip the switch to making this generally available sometime in the next few weeks.
• For people using the current version of the Gnip platform (v2.0) we are continuing to provide support and will do so through the Beta 2 period and 30 days after the general release of version 2.1.

2) We are also doing an update to our corporate website.  Today the website is located at www.gnipcentral.com, and because we were able to acquire the gnip.com domain we are moving!  Everyone going to any gnipcentral.com based URL will be redirected to the apporpriate gnip.com URL.   So, look for the new website before the end of the week.

Here is a glimpse of the new home page for the curious…..
