While colleges let out for spring break and families enjoyed a relaxing weekend together, we worked on getting Raffstar’s Facebook Page set up and optimized to stay connected with our members and fans.  Now you can read our blog posts and be notified of new updates immediately within Facebook, as well as post comments, reviews, and discussion topics directly to our wall. You can even participate in the Causes we support and help raise awareness for charities with your friends.

Don’t let that work go to waste — Become a Raffstar Fan on Facebook!

As you all know, Raffstar is still in public beta while we work out the bugs in our site and workflow.  We launched with a lot of excitement last fall and ran into a number of internal issues this spring that have slowed the progress of new features and better prizes.  That’s the nature of a test phase — we throw everything against the wall and see what sticks.

The good news is, a whole lot of our expectations stuck, and the 2nd quarter of 2009 is shaping up to be a very cool time for everyone.  Much of what we’re doing is behind the scenes, like improving the way we order and ship out prizes, opening up communication channels so our team can get out and socialize with the community, and of course, working on new features that will make Raffstar that much cooler to play.

They say a picture’s worth a thousand words, however, so I’ll stop talking and just show you a few snippets of what we’ve been working on this month:

As always, we love to hear what you guys think, and we really do read every email that we receive!  So let us know what you’d like to see in the future!
