Widgets

Widgets is a new addition to MyPadz. It allows users to add their sent buying and selling requests on any webpage.

The whole things works like all widgets online. The system creates some code for you that you paste on your site. The links point to the offer’s public page where other users can see it and do the regular stuff.

On the right menu on this blog we added a widget showing the last deals found by the Automated Deals script.

Since today MyPadz also has a new front page design, hope you like it.

Going Social (MyPadz on Facebook)

I’ve been quiet for a while, and that’s because I was working on adding a new improvement

With todays update we added Facebook support to MyPadz. That means you can do basic MyPadz stuff like: view received offers, view sent offers, buy and sell from inside Facebook. As a FB bonus you can also see what your friends are buying and selling if they’ve added the application.

We tried to make the application unobtrusive. By default it doesn’t show anything in your profile. Once you start sending offers from inside FB, the system will add a profile box that shows to everybody what you are interested in. And add a message to the mini-feed that sounds like ‘John is buying RFQ_TITLE’ or ‘John is seling PAD_TITLE’.

Add the application here. It needs 5 users so we can add it to the Facebook directory.

Advanced Filtering for Offers

Once you created your MyPadz account you noticed how offers are delivered. You filter what you want to get, either keywords or users(vendors), and the next time an offer matching what you are looking for is sent you are notified.

But what if you are looking for more than one thing? What if you were monitoring for an “IPod” and are in fact interested just for an Ipod Touch?

Today we rolled out an update which adds another layer of filtering in your already received offers. You can filter by keywords, users and status.

Here is a snapshot:
