We at SwapThing wish you and your loved ones a safe and
happy and holiday season. Don’t forget to search our
listings for all your gift-giving needs. And, be sure to
come back after the holidays to swap those gifts that you
don’t want (c’mon, admit it — we all get
something from well-intended relatives that we just have no
use for).
Speaking of searching, we are happy to announce a new,
more powerful Advanced
Search function. You can now get search results by
category and zip codes within the United States. This should
come in very handy when looking for that perfect gift idea.
Give it a shot!
The exciting addition of SwapCircles provides a new way
to swap goods and services amongst trusted swappers with
similar interests. You can create a SwapCircle of
like-minded swappers, forming a community within which you
can communicate and conduct swap transactions. If you are
already part of a community, you can add swap functionality
by creating a SwapCircle and integrating it with your
existing community. For more information or to request a
circle, please send an email to partners@swapthing.com.
In case you haven’t noticed, last month we rolled
out Version 2 of SwapThing. Aside from the new look, there
are now content-rich spotlight pages for each category with
featured items and articles, and a Profile View page that
allows swappers to manage the items they are listing,
monitor swap offers and questions, and customize the
information about themselves that they wish to share with
other swappers. Poke around the site and check out the new
additions, then share your thoughts in the SwapForum.
Swapping Tip of the Month: If you find something that you
want but do not know what to offer in exchange, you can
simply select that item and invite the other swapper to
browse your listings and find something that suits their
fancy.
Happy Swapping!
