A Week for Milestones!

bidStart continues to grow by leaps and bounds, and this week we've hit quite a few exciting milestones. For the first time in the history of bidStart we currently have over 3 Million active listings! A big contributing factor to this is the recent explosion of the Postcard category - we now have over 625,000 active postcard listings and counting! Just a couple of weeks ago we only had half as many. Postcards aren't just being added to bidStart, they're selling too. In the last 30 days over 3,000 postcards have been sold on bidStart, for a total of over $25,000 in postcard sales!

As many of your already know (and are 'fans') bidStart is on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/bidStart), but did you know we're also on Twitter? We've decided to start tweeting more with some specific purpose. In general, when we make important updates or changes to bidStart, we include this information in our Newsletters. Now, for most of the every day smaller changes and updates to bidStart, we'll tweet those to keep you in the loop! We'll also focus on promoting item listings that match current news topics and twitter trends. So why not follow us on Twitter!
