Recently during an interview on "The Savvy Seller" Podcast, I shared information on StumbleUpon as it pertained to my last two years experience in using it as a traffic generator for content. I also shared that information on an episode of the Bonanza Boardroom.
StumbleUpon easily beat out others, such as Facebook and Twitter, in my use of it for my own content and in my capacity of Social Media Manager for others.

Alex at bonanza.com announced this morning concerning the changes made to the Items sold.
The previous version was shall we say really scary... The big bold "Item Sold" made you want to hit the back button and escape.
Now the sold is softer message. And related items from the seller's booth that is still for sale is offered above the sold item.. Much better look!

Bonanza Forges Ahead with Site Improvements
Thursday, December 16, 2010 at 8:29PM
Recently Bonanza.com has implemented a flurry of changes and improvements to the site, namely in asthetics and site navigation.
Continuing in that vein is their latest improvement to the visibility of coupons created by sellers on the marketplace. The site has introduced a new set of pages to allow buyers to shop coupons by category. This newest improvement allows higher visibility of coupons published by sellers to buyers browsing in specific categories.
Before the recent addition, visitors to the site were only presented with those coupons that had been recently published.
With the popularity of sites such as Groupon and RetailMeNot, online shoppers are searching more and more for the best buy possible, Bonanza seems to be positioning itself to allow its sellers to take advantage of this shopping trend.
For the sellers, this allows a higher visibility of coupons published for their booth.

UPS Adds Photo ID Requirement for Retail Shipping
UPS Adds Photo ID Requirement for Retail Shipping
UPS is expanding its policy to require customers who ship packages from retail shipping locations to present a government-issued photo ID for verification of identification. The directive will apply at The UPS Store and Mail Boxes Etc. locations as well as authorized shipping outlets worldwide. The move is part of its ongoing review to enhance security and comes after the discovery in October of explosives hidden inside a printer cartridge in a package on a UPS cargo plane traveling from Yemen.

Redesigned user feedback page - Bonanza
Redesigned user feedback page - Bonanza
Tonight’s release involved a cosmetic makeover to our seller feedback pages.
Before we get into what did change let’s talk for a moment about what we didn’t change. We did not change one thing about how reviews or feedback is calculated. The percentage ratings are unchanged, the feedback counts are unchanged, and you can still import feedback from other marketplaces. Even the positive, neutral, and negative icons are the same. Changes to this page were limited to visual changes like page layout, copy, etc.

New Shipping Options - Bonanza
New Shipping Options - Bonanza
Hi everyone – I’m happy to announce some new free shipping options which are rolling out of our experimental features ‘sandbox’ and are now into a live BETA.
They are entirely optional right now so if you don’t want to ‘kick the tires’ you don’t have to. To be super clear, there’s nothing at all you need to do. We didn’t change anyone’s existing settings, rates, or anything about their items.
At a high-level there are three features of note. First is the ability to set different shipping services and prices. Second is a newly enhanced shipping calculator. And third is the ability to set a preference for how and where your packages are dropped off (or picked up) for shipping. There’s a lot to cover here so I’ll take these one at a time.
Different shipping services and prices: for each item you can now set multiple shipping services to give buyers more choice. Want cheap shipping? We have an option for that. Want to offer expedited shipping? We have an option for that too. Each choice comes with the ability to set your own price of course. For example, if you want to set one item at $5.00 for USPS Parcel Post and offer UPS 3-Day for $15 you can do that too. By default your item detail pages will list the least expensive option. Want to take a look? Just edit any of your items and explore the options in the drop-down menu after the ‘buyer pays fixed price option
