Welcome to the New friendsell Blog!
Hi friendsell family (and future family)!
We are completely geeked* about everything going on at friendsell right now. This new blog you see is just the first of many very cool changes that you’ll see over the next several weeks.
We’ve been getting tons of great feedback from our current beta users and are gearing up to transition to a public beta very soon. This means a bigger community, with more listings to browse and more friends and family to connect with. (And more feedback for us, which means a better experience for you!) So, start thinking about what you’ve got to sell. More listings –> more visitors –> more cash!
If you’re not already a member, head on over to the site and request an invite for the public beta, so you can be in on the action from day one! (Do feel free to tell your friends and family about it, too. All of them. We won’t mind. Really. )
To celebrate the move to public beta (it’s a big deal around here!), we’re going to have a really sweet promotion during December (with prizes you’ll actually want to win), so definitely keep an eye out for updates on that.
Stay in the loop by subscribing to the blog (rss or email, links to the left) and following us on twitter (friendsell for updates, stuff_for_sale for public listings). You’ll be first to find out about all sorts of stuff: upcoming changes and features, tips and tricks for buying, selling, and getting the most out of friendsell, and (last, but certainly not least) our awesome promotion. (Seriously guys, these prizes are going to rock – I want them. All of them.)
For you technical-types out there, we’re also going to have some posts about the cutting edge technology that we’re using to build the site, which is insanely cool .** (Non-techie people, fear not, for when we have those posts, we’ll be sure to let you know how all that gobbledygook makes friendsell a better experience for you! Then you can just skip over the confusing stuff and pretend you knew what it all meant.)
p.s. Sign up now! www.friendsell.com (Pretty please!)
*Several geeks are indeed involved. I can absolutely vouch for that. But they’re ridiculously awesome geeks, so it’s a riot.
**Like I said, real live geeks on board.
