Happy New Year!
January 8th, 2007 by Matt
Hope you all had a good Christmas and New Year! We’ve been busy over the holiday period, and today, we released a slew of new features to Bouldr.
Climbers Near You
The explorer now features a tabbed interface, along with the ability to find people near you to meet up with! We’re going to be adding a messaging feature pretty soon, but take a look, and if you haven’t already, update your profile and tell us where you are.

Don’t worry - all locations are slightly randomized to prevent anyone from finding your true location (unless you tell them, of course), and you can remove your location from your profile whenever you want.
Advertising
Bouldr needs to make money - at the moment, all the costs for hosting, development and other such bills are coming directly out of our pockets. In order to begin offsetting this cost, we have decided to launch our own advertising service. We’re only going to be accepting advertisements from businesses that are directly involved in providing services to climbers, so it’s all going to be relevant to you.
If you are interested in advertising on Bouldr, then nip over to our advertiser center, and take a look. We’re currently running a 60%-off launch-sale, so if you would like to advertise to climbers from around the world, then this is an excellent time to add your business!
Coming Soon…
We’re keeping ourselves busy with a new interface for Bouldr - we will be stripping some functionality completely, and adding more relevant features too. You can expect a new messaging system, an improved interface and a few other bits that we are keeping under wraps for now.
Have a great 2007!
