Swagbucks Update

Posted at 11:16 PM • One Comment

It seems like many sites are changing their look and feel. Another one of these sites is Swagbucks.com. Swagbucks is yet another free prize site where you can get many things like a gaming system or a gift card.  To begin with, the first thing they changed is your swag bucks pricing.

Instead of getting just one swag buck which is used to redeem prizes you would get 10. So for every 1 swag buck you have that would be ten and if you searched for something using their site you would get ten to twenty swag bucks.  With this new option though comes something else. They have raised the prices on some of their prizes because this way it will make people want to use their site more I think.

Another thing that they changed is they changed the top bar. The first thing I noticed was that they have uploaded a new logo on their site. When you go to Swagbucks.com you will see that it says “Why do I have more swagbucks?” and if you click that you will know why. I like this new update because I had only around 10-14 swagbucks and now I have 180 or so.

Yahoo! Answers redesign!

Posted at 6:45 PM • 2 Comments

It seems many sites are stepping up their game to get more users. I know I did. So, Yahoo! Answers has redesigned their home page. This time their page has four new navigation tabs.

These are labeled “Home, Browse Category, My activity” and about. What I like is that it doesn’t matter wherever you go on Yahoo! Answers as these will stay with you. Now I am not going in to too much detail about the browse category tab because to me it seems not very important. Yet, categories are in the navigation tab now. You can watch my video which will be live shortly and check out this picture below.

Steam Interface Overhaul (Beta)

Posted at 7:33 PM • No Comments

On February 23rd, 2010 Valve announced the release of the new client BETA. This features a new redesigned look and feel of the Steam client. Steam is a free platform to download yet you need to buy games for some features to become useable like adding friends. This beta is opt-in meaning you don’t have to join it if you don’t want to. They have redesigned how it shows the store and the games section.

You can now see what games your friend has purchased within the store tab. This client beta also helps gamers alike be more organized and sort their games easier. I like this a lot. You can watch the video above and read about it here.
