Just found out that on the 7th Feb, theBookPond was Pocket-Lint.com's website of the day, which is fantastic. No-one told me! I've been so busy with so much stuff that I hadn't even noticed the dozens of extra visitors who stopped by our site that day and since. Talk about taking your eye off the ball for a second.
Thanks to Pocket-Lint for liking our site enough to give it this high honour and a place in web-history. Thanks also to our parents who are our inspiration, and to God, blah blah blah........

Feb 2011
Good grief, where have the last few months gone? Here at theBookPond we have been extremely busy in so many ways, the time has just flown. We hope you are having a nice mid-term break and spending the time wisely, revising and finishing off those all-important assignments. Good luck with whatever you have got going on.
This term we would like to introduce you to U-Biz. They are a new website that operate to bring you discounts offered by local, independent companies instead of the usual burger chains and high street shops. They are a new start-up with a good ethos and we think you should pay them a visit at least. www.u-biz.co.uk. They are returning the favour by recommending us to their followers, which is fab!
This week we are running a half-term online ad campaign so hope to have more books available to buy very soon. Some new members have started listing already.......and whoever lists the milestone #100 gets a special 'Best of British' duck to celebrate. Get listing now!!!!

New semester and another year - 2010
Its the start of another academic year for most universities in the UK. Welcome back to all of you returning for yet more punishment and fun in equal measures. For those of you who are long gone, we hope you had a good summer even if you did have to work (hee hee...)
With the start of the new semester, theBookPond.com has undergone a little facelift. The site is more user friendly and brighter than ever before. Soon we will also be providing the facility for you to make your own theBookPond listings poster that you can print out and pin on your university notice board for extra exposure for your books, and for us too!
Soon we will reach a milestone on the site - we have almost 100 books listed - which doesn't sound a lot, but considering we are a new site and are trying not to spend too much of our hard earned cash on publicity, will be a proud acheivement. We are looking forward to the next 100.
Anyway, what have we been up to over the summer? Well between trips to London and abroad, and making improvements to the site, not a lot really - where did the time go? Roll on Christmas................

Think summer has arrived
Last month we had a successful online campaign and now have more users as well as more books listed on the site. There are now books listed in Scotland, England, Ireland and Wales.
This week, Durham University's Ustinov College ran an article about Joanne (who studies there) and the bookpond. It was in the June edition of 'The Ustinovian'. A big thank you to Matthew of Ustinov College for helping out with this and liking the site enough to want to give some time to writing the article.
We are now settling in for the summer and will be running more online campaigns to get more users on board and more books before the start of the next academic year.
