My Fellow Jambies & Jambettes

I'd like to introduce myself, I'm Lili Jambi, the newest voice of the Official myJambi Blog. My qualifications for this job include knowing all the words to Katy Perry's "I Kissed A Girl" (David's requirement), how to use the spell-check function and a love of all things myJambi. All kidding aside, I got this job by perusing the Wants on myJambi and sending a proposal in. Next thing you know, I have the much coveted position of Jambi Blogger. See kids, dreams do come true on myJambi!


Longtime fans of the site may have noticed a few changes since the site launched its beta version on July 2nd. All of a sudden, there are bidding and booking functions, reviews and ratings and scheduling-oh my! I'll admit, I was intimidated for about five minutes before diving into the scheduling and calendar features, my personal favorites. You can update your preferred work schedule, so people wanting to book a time with you will not make an appointment for 7 AM if you are ahem, not a morning person.

After the beta launch three weeks ago, the myJambi team has been adding new features and functions on a weekly basis. One feature added today can be found in the bottom right-hand corner of every page. The small rectangular button features Jambi, our little mascot, and says "Having trouble? Tell us now so we can help!" Click on that little buddy and a feedback popup emerges. You have the option to categorize your issue via a dropdown menu and a box below that allows you to go into detail about your issue. This function is important because you can't fix what you don't know is broken.

Another cool function is that now when you are creating an offer, if you leave the price area blank, it defaults to "price negotiable" which sounds a whole lot classier than "i'll take what I can get" or "i'll do it for free."

For someone who has watched this site grow from a crazy idea in a mad scientist's lab to a functioning website, the new features are exciting. I'll keep you updated on these new features as they're released, in addition to blogging about the process of creating the first myJambi commercials, throwing the first myJambi picnic and following the myJambi street team around the five boroughs. Stay tuned kids, the best is yet to come.
