It's been ages since we've posted to our blog so here goes...

Hi Guys,

It's been a while, you must think we've vanished?!

Here's an update on a few things that we've been up to recently:

Well, first, we've been listening to some of your comments regarding the topic of "Carbon Offsetting". We racked our brains in one of those "strategy" meetings (that was punctuated by a swift beer to get our creative juices flowing!) where we came up with a way of keeping itsmymarket.com green. Essentially we have been able to calculate how much carbon is produced by your pc while you are visiting itsmymarket.com! Its a pretty complicated equation but in October 2007 we offset 4,380 tonnes of CO2 by planting trees...check out our green page for more info.

We've been raising money too, you may remember when Matt, Rowan & Manley ran the Great West Run on behalf of the RNLI raising £750? Well since then we've developed and tweaked a piece of software that runs charity auctions associated with radio stations. Our next big one is coming up soon on the 9th December but as we're hosting it you can check out the lots and bid on them now!

We've also been having a think about some future improvements to our classifieds...we're thinking of video ads - where in addition to uploading pictures of the item you wish to sell you would be able to record a short clip of your item on your mobile and txt it to us for around 25p...we're interested in hearing from both sellers and potential buyers - would it benefit you? Of course if you just have an opinion we're interested! Drop us an email: enquiries@itsmymarket.com with your thoughts.

Oh, how could i forget this: today we launched our latest photo competition! - yes, after much demand they're back...This one is called "Photo's of 2007" and does what it says - a collaboration of everything that's happened in 2007, in pictures! The winner will grab themselves a brand new Canon EOS 350D Digital SLR including a 18-55mm lens kit supplied by our friends at savebuckets.com.

Our Prioritised listings that get your advert to the top of its category has launched...costing as little as £1 per consecutive day we've had a number of our users use these to their success.

I think that's about it! Apart from the fact that we welcomed James to the team over the summer!

We really appreciate all the comments and thoughts that you send us and leave in our forums so please keep them coming! We'd also like to thank all of you who post blogs, place ads and everything else on itsmymarket.com.

Cheers for now!
