Buxferites of the world, unite! Join the Buxfer groups on Facebook, MySpace, and Orkut. Our Bollywood-loving users (Bollywood is the Indian cousin of Hollywood) can also enjoy our adaptation of the classic movie Sholay on youtube.

Happy Buxfering!

A new and improved Buxfer

Friday, October 27th, 2006

At Buxfer, we are focused on keeping the site simple and usable. We have re-designed the home page to make it more informative to a wandering newbie. It includes examples of how Buxfer can be useful for you. It also contains testimonials from users who have simply fallen in love with Buxfer. Thank you for your feedback and support, we hope it continues the same way!

The goodies don’t stop at the home page. Throughout the site, we have replaced dull text with expressive icons. In response to many of your requests, we also now allow you to delete contacts with whom you have no shared transactions.

Last but not the least, we have revamped the full transaction view to provide you exactly the information you seek. The page carries a short description of the transaction in simple English, which is easier to read and understand. Kudos to our design team for getting it right, we hope that you will love it too!

As always, we are waiting for your feedback. Just drop us a note whenever you feel like.

Keep Buxfering!
