[Update] Oh How I Love Thee, Let Me Count the Ways

Krrb is an ever-changing, constantly evolving, continually growing, wildly expanding, big ol’ beautiful almost two-year-old baby. With your help we’ve been raising this bouncing bundle of joy to be the kind of neighbor we can all count on and be proud of for many years to come.

As we approach our two-year anniversary (in November), we’ve been hard at work improving Krrb based off user feedback. We’re happy to share with you the highlights from the last couple of weeks and will continue to share as we launch new features right through the holiday season!

See What’s Hot on our New Homepage

Finally, a brand-spanking new homepage that highlights all the wonderful stuff and activities within the Krrb universe and beyond.

Promote Your Home Furnishings on Apartment Therapy

As many of you know, Krrbie’s been powering the new Apartment Therapy Classifieds dedicated to people who are serious about their home and furniture. So if you’re selling home furnishings, you can publish to their classifieds directly from Krrb and get your listing in front of millions of potential buyers! Wowzers!

In summary, with just one click, you can publish to Facebook, Twitter, Google Shopping and Apartment Therapy. That, my friend, is a click worth its weight in gold!

Staying Safe, Protecting Privacy and Building Trust

As y’all know, safety, privacy and trust is our top priority. We’ve been working behind the scenes to improve the inner workings of Krrb to keep things kosher like a pickle. Recently we started displaying member verifications that, as a seller, gives you the opportunity to show how neighborly you are (while retaining your privacy); and as a buyer, gives you the tools to judge—at a glance—whether you’re comfortable with a specific buyer.

Basically, we are simply leaving no room for spammers, scammers and fraud fakers. Dude says he’s from Michigan? Sorry mister, your verifications say you are currently in Kazakhstan.

Connect to a Facebook Page

Some of you have mentioned that you’d rather connect and publish to a Facebook Page instead of your personal account. Now you can link one of your Facebook pages in your social preferences on Krrb. After you do so, when you “Publish to Facebook” it will post to your page instead of your personal account. The wonders of technology!
