Dear Nuffnangers,

The past couple of weeks have been good ones for our community as a whole. We now have 2500 Nuffnangers in our ranks and are still growing. Here are a couple of highlights.

Rush Hour 3 Event on National Day
Nuffnang SG’s first community event was held on National Day at GV Vivocity. We booked out the entire Hall 4 (The 2nd largest cinema in Vivocity) to host 250 bloggers, press, and advertisers to an exclusive screening of Rush Hour 3.

The event was well received, and we ran out of tickets a week before the event itself!

Besides the movie, there were goody bags, and a reception with food and drinks too! For more information, you can check out our blog entry at http://nuffnang.com.sg/blog/?p=33

We’ve had lots of feedback regarding the organization of the event. Good and bad. We will take stock of these comments to improve upon our next event.

Special thanks must go to Super Coffeemix Ltd for sponsoring their yummy Kimchi Cup Noodles and Café Nova sachets!

Unveiling our new logo and NN2.0
People who attended our event also got an opportunity to preview our new logo. I’m sure you have noticed it on all our pages, and also on your default ads.

It is one part of a project we call Nuffnang 2.0, which will see significant improvements, on the aesthetics front and also on the technological end .

This is due to launch in October, and you may catch a video preview here.

I will miss our old logo, but am also excited about this new growth curve Nuffnang is moving towards.

New Feature
I would like to take this opportunity to announce a new feature. As our community has grown to a suitable critical mass, we have incorporated a feature into the “Add Ads” page of our blogger account.

Here, you may choose to minimize your default ad units to a small unintrusive tab. Why do we still have this tab?

For practicality reasons really.
1) When an advertiser is considering your blog site, he can indeed see you serve Nuffnang Ads
2) When we check placements before a campaign is launched, we can do so effectively

In the near future, we will include an option to serve charity ads. We have launched this with great success across the causeway, and many Nuffnangers have felt a genuine sense of satisfaction doing their bit for society in general.

You may find one of the malaysian initiatives here. http://nuffnang.com.my/blog/?p=110
