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 Brings Twitter to all Your Social Networks and Blogs!

Friday, July 10th, 2009

Are you one of the 7 million+ members of the Twittersphere?  If so, you’ll be glad to know we just launched the first Twitter App for urFooz!

Our Twitter App lets you tweet directly from Fooz World and publishes your tweets not only to your Twitter page, but also to all the social networks, blogs, and webpages your Fooz Card resides!   Just another way urFooz helps consolidate your online life.

To start using the Twitter App, it takes 3 simple steps:  1.) go to Fooz World, look under Edit, click on Apps and click on the “Sign in With Twitter” button;  11

2.) Next, log into Twitter;  21

and 3.) Start Tweeting away.   51

The App makes it’s one less site you have to visit to keep your MySpace and Facebook friends up-to-date with your latest tweets.

Here’s another reason why the urFooz Twitter App makes so much sense–  When it comes to Twitter profiles, 79.79% Twitter members fail to provide a homepage URL,  75.86% have not entered a bio in their profile,  and 68.68% have not specified a location.  Putting Twitter on your Fooz Card puts your latest tweets right next to your profile, photos, videos, bookmarks, networks, news, and just about anything else you want to share with friends, family, and fans.

Share your Fooz on Facebook with our Facebook App!

Looking for more ways to share your Fooz with others? Want to see your friends’ Fooz? Well look no further because you can do all this and more with the urFooz Facebook app!

With our new Facebook app, you can connect with other Fooz friends, comment on each other’s Fooz, find new Fooz friends, and even invite more friends to join in on the Fooz fun! Not only that, but you can add your Fooz card directly to your profile so all of your friends can check it out as soon as they visit your profile page!

To add the urFooz Facebook app, just make sure you’re logged into Facebook and go to http://apps.facebook.com/urfoozapp/ and use your urFooz log-in information to get into the app, and you’ll be all set! It’s just one more way that urFooz helps you connect the many dots of your online life.

It’s finally here! Customize the order of your Fooz Apps.

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

Thanks to the great feedback you’ve been providing over the past 3 months since we launched, we’ve been adding a number of new feature sets designed to make urFooz more simple and fun.  One of the most popular requests we’ve received has been to offer the ability to choose the order of Fooz Apps shown on your Fooz Card.

We’ve done just that and now it’s ready.  Go to Fooz World, roll over Edit, and click on Apps.  You can edit your apps here, and re-order the way they’ll show on your card by dragging and dropping the apps up and down. The apps you want shown on the top of your Fooz Card should be at the top of the list.  Users who requested this feature cared most about customizing the 3 apps on the front of the card– These 3 apps should be at the top of your list on the Edit Apps page.

Another feature you’ll notice is that the number of buttons you can show on the back of your card is no longer limited to 9.  The back of your Fooz Card can scroll through two screens (and more as the number of Fooz Apps continues to grow).  Simply put, if you want to show 11 apps on the back of your card per se, the back of your profile card will have 2 screens people can scroll through– 9 apps on the 1st screen and 2 on the 2nd.

Our innovation and improvements are thanks to all of you who’ve contributed your thoughts and suggestions.  Have fun with this and keep up with the great feedback!
