Clearing House Feedback

We’ve had a lot of requests for our URL Clearing House service. When I first announced the service some people got upset because it required a veto process where we would grant access to whom we wanted. Some folks complained that the information (the URLs) is public domain, and so we should share it for free anyway.

Well, almost everybody has been given access, except for those few who failed to reply to our email for more details about them. Oh, and maybe for those emails that have been lost in cyberspace (if it’s the case, please contact me directly).

Anyway, we’ve got people from all other the world. Some folks are working for big name companies, others are researchers or students.

The chart below gives you an idea of where most of them come from (click to enlarge):

We are continually working on making the site better. Lately there have been some URLs that have been “polluting” the rest, especially coming from the same domain, so we’re working on filtering those out, to only show the most relevant ones.
We’ve also had a few requests from people to have the option to download all files at once, rather than clicking on each icon. We are considering this feature and others as we are developing the back end code.

Another feature I’d like to point out is the ability for you to share URLs (or malware) with us by clicking the following button:

The next page will allow you to paste a URL or attach any files you may wish to send.

I hope you like the service and feel free to share your feedback and suggestions with us!
