Announcing... Announcements

Now you can create announcements on TikiWade. An announcement can be a garage sale, estate sale, community event, auction, etc... There is some categories to choose from, and if you would like a category added to announcements, just ask. I also added some bug fixes.

No Account Required

A tiki user suggested to me yesterday that tikiwade would be easier to use if you didn't have to have an account and log in to send a communication to another user. What a crazy concept! Who would think up something like that... Hey... wait... they might be right.

So, thanks to you, the tiki community, you no longer are required to have an account or log in to contact a listings creator using the contact link, or to email a listing to someone. You just need to enter in your email address.

This is a perfect time to let you know that I am listening. Please make suggestions and give me your feedback. I will try to accommodate all requests that seem appropriate and that seem to benefit everyone. Also, categories... if you need a category that does not exist, let me know. I can add new categories as needed.

My email is wade@tikiwade.com

Thanks
Wade

What are you waiting for?

The word is spreading about tikiwade. People are starting to use it, traffic is up on the site, and the media are starting to notice to. Thank you to everyone who is using the site now to try and sell some stuff.

This last week turned out to be an exciting one. Marigale called me to tell me about a radio show on WCCO radio where they were talking about online safety, and suggested I listen. I unfortunately didn't have a radio handy, so I called and asked Brad to listen. About half an hour later Brad, and Marigale, called me back to tell me he had just been on the air!! And that he talked about tikiwade.com as being an alternative to other listings services. WooHoo! Thanks Marigale.

We also had our article printed in the Prior Lake American newspaper, which was also very exciting, and had also helped to get the word out about tikiwade.

We will continue to do our part to get the word out, and I would like to ask everyone who uses tikiwade to also do the same. The more people who know about it, the more it will get used, and the more it will work for everyone.
