I want to start out by thanking all our swappers who have contributed to item tagging and helped along our transition into a brand new SwapThing. If you haven't had a chance to check out the new and improved look and functionality, hop on over to the site and take a look. We think you will like it more than ever.

You can now share your item listings with more people by posting them to your blog and/or personal pages on sites like MySpace, Facebook, and LiveJounal. Once you are logged in, you can click on the "Post to your Blog" link on your profile page. This will take you to http://www.swapthing.com/user/exportExternalHTML.do .All you have to do is cut and paste the provided code into your blog or website.

SwapThing has joined the blogosphere. A new blog has been established to provide an avenue for discussing SwapThing, swapping, the ShareThing program, cats, football, economics, television, and anything else that pops into our heads. Check it out today.

It's getting awfully close to that time of year kids dread the most: back to school. The return of a new school session also means the return of back-to-school shopping. Before you head out to the mall, search SwapThing for your children's needs. You can swap amongst friends or others who share similar interests by creating or joining a SwapCircle for parents and schools. You can learn more about SwapCircles by visiting: http://www.swapthing.com/user/swapCircles.jsp

More exciting new functionality is scheduled for the weeks ahead, so stay cool and surf SwapThing to see what you can swap today!

Happy Swapping!
