July Contest Results

August 1st, 2009

Hello friends,

Buxr is heating up and that is not just because it’s the middle of summer. Despite the heat, we are seeing a lot of participation. Don’t you guys ever get outside? July has turned out to be the second best month on record (only slightly trailing April) which is great considering it is an off-season for shopping. And why should you care? Well it’s because of your support that we’ve been able to grow and we thank you so much. And at Buxr we put our money were our mouth is, so it’s time to say thanks by doing what we do best, giving out cash and cool prizes.

So the contest results are in, and we have 10 cash winners and of course some Buxr mug and mousepad winners as well. Again, only the top 20 members who have NOT yet received a mug, will get one this month (you only qualify for a mug once). If you finish in the top 20 and have already received a mug in prior contest then you will get a cool Buxr mousepad instead! If you’ve received both already, please post your swag pictures in our discussion forums!

Special note: In order for us to mail you a coffee mug or mousepad, we obviously need your address. Please go login to your Buxr account, go to Payee Information and enter you mailing address. Please try to enter address information by August 10th, so we can mail the mugs or mousepads out to you promptly.

Site Updates

Yan has been adding features to the site and here are some cool things you should check out:

• We love to tag things at Buxr, and now you can tag and filter your favorite discussion topics in the Buxr forums. By clicking on the tags in the sidebar you can drill down and see discussion topics that are important to you. So please try to thoughtfully add tags when you start a discussion topic.
• We added search within tags so you can find the tag which you are looking for without clicking through the entire hierarchy of tags. Just type in the little search box next to the tag cloud and the search results will refresh as you type. The same functionality is available for store names.
• We’ve added topic voting in the discussion forums. With this feature we are trying to make it easier for visitors like yourself to find the best topics and weed-out the worst ones. Please note that topic voting has no bearing on contest results.

Thanks for your support

We hope you are having a great summer, it has certainly been great for us because of your support. We will continue to work hard in August to help make Buxr the best shopping community on the web.
