Slowly but surely . . . we're coming along.

The Joe Barter team thanks everyone who's visited our site at joebarter.com and taken the time to look around. Some of you have given us some great feedback and recommendations.
We're going as fast as we can, fine-tuning each section, so that it works to your expectations. Joe Trading Post is up and running smoothly for those of you who want to barter or sell products and services. We do need to revise and add some categories to our products and services lists. Also, we'll perform some minor tweaks to add a feature that allows a member who posts a product or service to communicate (safely) with a person making an "offer" before any acceptance. This will really be a powerful tool for Joe Barter users.
The interface and search features at Deals & Discounts are almost completed. This section allows average Joes to promote their businesses in a big way for a small fee: Platinum Ads are $25 per month; Gold Ads $15 per month; and Silver web site link ads are free on joebarter.com if your business posts our link on your site. Remember, Deals & Discounts is where members can go to find the best deals and discounts offered by our advertisers to Joe Barter members.
We'll be finalizing some big deals with corporate partners in the next week, and we're also finishing up our monthly newsletter to help you stay in the loop with Joe's family.
Joe Barter will keep you posted on more developments as they occur.
