Happy 100
Posted by justfred.ca on February 26th, 2007
We made it. We're 100 days old.
So that must mean a contest...or how about a whole bunch of contests?
Details are in

Thanks a million…
Posted by justfred.ca on February 21st, 2007
Hard as it might be to believe, justFRED.ca served up its one-millionth page earlier today. That's a lot earlier than we expected to hit this very major milestone.
We also added a full audio interview today, several hundred photos, a video of the weekend Queen concert (we've been waiting for permission and received it earlier today)...
So that means it must be time to celebrate. The way we usually do that is to give stuff away.
Stay tuned...
Cheers,
George

Contest 23 - Our 90th Anniversary
Posted by justfred.ca on February 16th, 2007
Who thought we'd be celebrating our 90th anniversary?
Right, so it's only 90 days. But in any new effort, every successful milestone is important, and this is a big one for us.
So to help us celebrate - and you could win.
The details are

And now - video!
Posted by justfred.ca on February 14th, 2007
Yep, video.
As you may have noticed by now, we're always tinkering with some newfangled feature or other. Tonight, we've added our first full motion video clip to our galleries. It's yours truly playing Richard, a homeless man, during the Big Hearts for the Homeless Valentine's show at The Playhouse this evening.
It's a QuickTime Movie, so you'll need QuickTime to view it. We're doing some testing with other formats.
And one minor breakthrough - we were able to use an image from the video as the thumbnail rather than a rather dorky QT File icon that is the default.
Love to hear what you think of this new feature.
Cheers,
George

Contest 22 - Catch 22
Posted by justfred.ca on February 12th, 2007
When you post a FREE classified ad on justFRED.ca, we send you some reminder notices so you won't forget to renew your ad in case it expires before your item sells.
But we don't want to be annoying.
Drop by the forums -
http://www.justfred.ca/justfred.forums/showthread.php?t=37">take our latest poll - and let us know how you think we should handle reminder notices. Every member who posts has their name dropped into the electronic hat for one of three chances to win a glass rose.

Countdown to Valentine’s Day
Posted by justfred.ca on February 11th, 2007
Guys - only three days left. Three and a half if you cheat and get your sweetie something on the day of. Cutting it close is always dangerous, but better than not making the cut at all.
Ladies - There's no need to remind you. The calendar part of your brains know exactly the number of days before Christmas 2008, never mind the number of days until Valentines. We do think about it, and we do mean well - honest - but the calendar part of our brains are generally synchronized with various sports related events which, because they are larger and noisier, tend to push the romantic stuff off to one side. These are scientific facts. Just ask a phsychologist.
Cheers,
George
PS - In case you haven't noticed, we're major sponsors of Big Hearts for the Homeless - the annual Valentine's show and fundraiser for the Fredericton homeless shelters.
