SwapSimple.com launches free swapping!

Yes it's true - we've made swapping free for the world! (well, sort of)

We're really excited to announce, by virtue of the new ads on
the site, that we're now able to make all items that are worth
10 Trade Credits or less - FREE TO TRADE!

In addition, items worth 11-25 Trade Credits are now only
$1.00 to swap, and items worth 26 Trade Credits and up are
$2.00 to swap.

We hope you truly enjoy this change, and keep a lookout later
this week for some cool new features we'll be announcing.
They're on the site now, if you can find them...

Talk soon, and happy swapping!

Bears Win! "SuperBowl Shuffle" Flashback, and more...

Well gang, it's finally happened. Years of freezing in the stands - disappointment after disappointment - but we finally made it. The Bears have finally made it to the SuperBowl, and even without the awesome powers of the man known as Ditka.

Now it's time to snuggle up with your favorite Polish sausage, and count the seconds until the big game...

If you want a fun flashback to the last time the Bears were in the SuperBowl (and won, mind you) here are some fun links:

• The original "SuperBowl Shuffle (Video)"
• The SuperBowl Shuffle in Wikipedia

Oh, and if you thought we just put things on hold here at SwapSimple because of the Bears, think again. We have a very important new release/upgrade of SwapSimple.com due to arrive momentarily...so stay tuned. We know you're really going to like this one!

DA Bears, DA Bears, Da Bears!!!

We at SwapSimple were all born and raised in Chicago, our servers are in Chicago, and so from all of us here at SwapSimple.com (and the whole Chicago tech scene) - we say a collective:

GO BEARS!

Next stop - SuperBowl!

Site Upgrade - New user homepage (SwapBase), power search, easy registration, and more!

We've been working hard over the holidays to release some upgrades to the site.  Also, look for several more very interesting upgrades, scheduled for release this month.

Here are the most recent upgrades, in no particular order :-)  :

- New User Homepage, called your SwapBase
We changed your logged in homepage to contain a variety of useful trade and account information.  Now you can see exactly what's happening with your account, and your trades, without having to click to several pages.  It's a "dashboard" type
overview of your account.

- Simplified Registration
Now, all it takes to create an account on SwapSimple is an email address and password.  New users no longer need to fill out any other personal information until
they actually want to engage in trades.

- Improved Search
The search has been learning day by day, and is now extremely stable.  To learn about all its new advanced search abilities, simply click the "search tips" link next to the search box.

-  Added ads
We have added advertisements to several places within the SwapSimple site.  We did this in order to generate some additional funds to help us speed the development of the many additional SwapSimple features we're working on.  Hopefully these ads will also help you discover other beneficial websites and services you were previously
unaware of.  Please feel free to explore these new ads, as each click earns us a bit of money.  Also, if you are interested in advertising on SwapSimple, please contact
customer service and we can assist you.

If you have any questions, or find any bugs we overlooked in this update, please feel free to contact us at any time.

Talk soon, happy new year, and happy swapping!
