I stumbled upon Wakoopa (damn that name’s hard to remember) on Lifehacker a few days ago and wondered, hmm, if this is yet another Bubble 2.0 product.
From their success (a thousand users in 22 hours), it looks amazingly easy to start a Web 2.0 company these days. I do wonder what the use of the total statistics would be, I don’t think you’d find anything surprising in there: most people (especially the Web 2.0 crowd) will be using the web browser, and it will be Firefox, because hey, that’s the browser of the Web 2.0 crowd. I think yesterday I saw Gator or [whatever it is that spyware monkey buddy is called] showed up in the statistics. Oh no, the unwashed masses are here already? That’s fast.
I do like the idea of gathering the statistics for my individual use, to see if I spend more time using TeXnicCenter (a LaTeX editor), DC++ (ehem, a chat program), or Opera. Opera would probably win.
Too bad their program doesn’t work yet for me, for I am inside a network where the use of a HTTP proxy is mandatory.
Wakoopa (damn this name’s hard to remember) did lead me upon HeidiSQL, a very impressive MySQL GUI, so they get a thumbs up from me!
I’ve tried to run Wakoopa with FreeCap proxy transparent tunneller program
It works – bypass wakoopa client over my copropare proxy with NTLM auth
Here is link to program:

Vladimir: Thanks, that’s awesome. There used to be a similar program called SocksCap, but it wasn’t free, and one had to keep getting a new version every few months because it was “time-bombed” to expire.
