We’ll Admit It: We Had Some Work Done.

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010

This wasn’t a simple one-day procedure. No. This was total reconstruction that was conceptualized and executed by a first-class team of creatives and programmers over a period of months where basic and secondary needs such as sleep and outside contact were sacrificed. But we’re ready now. The work is done and we’re ready to shed the bandages and reveal our new look.

Our online look, that is.

urFooz 2.0 has launched and we’re absolutely confident that you’ll be amazed at how much easier it will be for you to manage your social networking sites like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and others. Here are a couple things that just might change the way you interact with your online communities and friends:

Fooz Creator
Creating your Fooz Avatar is now easier than ever! You no longer begin your Avatar creation with a blank template. By responding to a couple of questions at the beginning of the process, we start you off with an Avatar that is pre-loaded with features that are customized to your answers.

Fooz World

Imagine the time you save if you don’t have to login and logout of each and every one of your social networking sites. With Fooz World consolidating your accounts, all newsfeeds and updates from your separate accounts will be nicely displayed all on one page—your Fooz World page.

Best of all, you can stay in touch with your friends with our chat aggregation tool that consolidates all your instant messaging networks including Twitter, Facebook, AIM, Google, ICQ, Jabber and more. If you have already logged into urFooz between 1am and 10am PST on May 11, you will need to clear your cache to take full advantage of our chatting interface.

Fooz Mall

The Fooz Mall has been renovated to make it easier than ever to personalize your Fooz Avatar. You can still find some pretty awesome styles and premium items from big brands like Blac Label, Oakley, NBA and NCAA, but now you have the option of creating your own personal look. Which leads us to…

Fooz Nation
urfoozblog_fooznationDon’t you just hate it when you can’t find something you like? Fret no more! Create your own style of clothing that’s unique to your personality. Creativity does not go unrewarded here at urFooz. You can open up a store through Fooz Nation to sell your chic designs to earn Cash Points, which are redeemable for real cash!

Fooz Points
Fooz Points are the currency of the Fooz Mall. After our website revamp, there are now two point systems: Gold and Silver. The main difference is that Gold points are purchased with real money, and Silver points are earned through interaction with the urFooz community (such as sending gifts to friends). But don’t worry, Gold points and Silver points have the same value (1 Gold point = 1 Silver point).

This is just a short preview of what you can expect to find. Check back here to learn more about urFooz 2.0.

urFooz Goes Primetime with the NBA Playoffs!

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009
If you watched Game 5 of  Lakers vs. Rockets  or  Celtics vs. Magics, you probably saw urFooz on-air in the NBA crawl!  The  shout-out to urFooz read,

“NBA SUPERSTARS GET FOOZ’D.  CREATE YOUR FOOZ AVATAR AND SHOW YOUR TEAM SPIRIT WITH OFFICIAL NBA GEAR. GO TO WWW.URFOOZ.COM/NBA.”

Check out game clips with the crawl below:

If you’re following the playoffs, there’s no better way to show team spirit than by giving your Fooz some NBA bling with official team jerseys, shirts, hats, headbands, wristbands, and more.  If you’re looking to show off your own skillz, do it like a Pro with NBA Fooz Actions– dribbling, spinning the ball on your finger, or dribbling around the back.  If you’re admittedly not a baller but want to cheer on for your team, get thunder sticks or a waving foam finger.  There’s something for everyone!

It’s how the Pro’s do it!  Get yours– www.urFooz.com/NBA!!

urFooz Makes Cameo Appearance in Lil’ Kim “DOWNLOAD” Video

Thursday, May 7th, 2009

Lil’ Kim just released the video to her new hit single, Download. The video features T-Pain, Charlie Wilson, and our very own urFooz! We’re really excited to be part of Lil’ Kim’s new video… who would’ve thought urFooz could look so good on camera?

Lil Kim Download Featuring Charlie Wilson & T – Pain Music Video

Throughout the video, Lil’ Kim is hanging out on her couch, using her Fooz Avatar and Card to make Computer Love to cyber admirers. T-Pain had that horrible accident the day of the shoot, but luckily he still made an appearance… through his Fooz! Really goes to show just how useful your Fooz Avatar can be!

In all seriousness, Download is seeing tremendous success, currently ranked as Top 10 popular downloads on iTunes. It’s already seen greater success than its first two versions, based on the original Computer Love starring legendary Soul and R&B Grammy winning multi-platinum selling artist, Charlie Wilson. The first version was released in ‘85 and re-released in ‘94.

Check out the Queen Bee’s Official Fooz Card (below)! You can take her card with you by using the “Share It” menu at the top of the card.

Enjoy!
