Numero Uno.

There are definitely some perks that come with being Number 1 on MojoPages. And by Number 1, we mean the Firsts…like the First member ever to review a business!

You were the first to find the business (at least on MojoPages) and you were the first to help others by writing a review. And for being our first, we think you should be rewarded accordingly… with a little extra recognition and even a little extra Mojo!

We know that as more and more reviews are written for a business on MojoPages, the older ones get pushed to the end to make room for more recent reviews at the top of the list. But we haven’t forgotten about our beloved reviewer who was there in the beginning…

We like trendsetters and don’t want them to get lost at the end, so we acknowledge the first member to write a review with their photo and name at the top of the list.

But that’s not all… the first person to review a business receives double the Mojo. That’s two points instead of the usual one - they can really add up, so it’s a great way to earn points!

So get out there and review already! A little limelight and some extra Mojo…Why wouldn’t you want to be Numero Uno?

Flowers blooming, birds chirping…Could it be spring?.

sun.gifThe smell of fresh cut grass… a cool breeze on a warm afternoon… and who can forget Spring Break?! Just a few of the wonderful things that come to mind when you think of springtime!

While the first official day of spring is not until March 20th, thanks to the Energy Policy Act of 2005, we will get to begin reaping the benefits of the season beginning this weekend! So don’t forget to spring forward on Sunday, March 9 - at 2 a.m. to be exact!

Now that the days will be longer and the nights a little warmer, it’s the perfect opportunity to re-acquaint yourself with your hometown…

Why not check out a neighborhood park? Or maybe visit a local museum? You can always try out the nearby hiking trail! To learn more about the sites and attractions in your area, just check out MojoPages.com!

And if you’re an expert on your city, be sure to share your tips for the local hotspots and lesser-known destinations with your neighbors and visitors, so we can all have a chance to experience everything your city has to offer!

Play like a tourist and spend an entire weekend experiencing your town like it’s for the first time… It’s a clever way to enjoy a vacation on a budget!

Paint the town… GREEN?.

leprechaun.jpgLeprechauns, shamrocks and a pot of gold are all somewhat synonymous with St. Patrick’s Day…
 
But for most Americans, the most popular way to celebrate this holiday is with beer…and green beer when possible!  It’s the one day out of the year where people actually seek out green foods and beverages - from green bagels to green brews!
 
So where will you be celebrating this year?
 
Unfortunately, the official holiday falls on a Monday, but I’m sure you’ll find many willing to celebrate early over the weekend.  And if you’re looking for a destination, check out MojoPages.com to find a popular watering hole or Irish pub in your area!
 
And if you’ve got your finger on the pulse of your town’s Irish festivities, be sure to let your neighbors know!  Remember, you don’t have to be Irish to paint the town GREEN this St. Patrick’s Day!  Whether you choose to celebrate this weekend or on the official date - Monday, March 17th - we wish you a fun and safe St. Patty’s Day!
 
So get out your green getup and get into the spirit and may the luck o’ the Irish be with each and everyone of you!

Taking a Closer Look for More Accurate Results….

We’ve recently made some exciting improvements to our search algorithm…blah blah blah…

In case we lost you at algorithm, basically, that’s tech talk for we’ve improved how the search runs so that it retrieves the most accurate business results.

We’ve been working on this for a while now, so we’re really excited to have it go live.  Now, the new and improved search will bring up the most accurate results for even the most obscure multiple word searches!

For example, say you’re looking for an Irish Pub to celebrate the upcoming holiday.  Before, your search for Irish Pub may have resulted in anything Irish OR Pub related.  But now, you should only get results that are truly Irish Pubs.

Try a combo word search that will really make the algorithm work for ya; maybe a car dealer or nail salon?  Or how about a water distributor…to help you replenish your fluids after an evening at the Irish Pub?

Try it out - we dare you to try to stump the system!

San Diego Community Launch Party Re-cap.

We just had our first official MojoPages Community Launch Party, coordinated by LandMarK Events, and it was a HUGE success - with 500+ RSVPs the party was packed!  And the newly renovated W Hotel was the perfect venue…right on the rooftop on the sand (super cool setup and vibe, slightly less cool for the ladies in stilettos - but hey, it’s a small price to pay for fashion)!

And of course, many, many thanks to all you Mojo’ers who came out to show your support for MojoPages and Keep-a-Breast!

Kicking things off in true rock star style, was our step and repeat (thank you Koerce Media)!  And who can forget Ryan from Blue Star Body Lounge who was a huge hit with his relaxing professional massages…then there was the putt-putt golf experience provided by De La Cruz Golf Design and to top it off, an exciting Polynesian dance performance by Kaleo O’nalani with a special guest appearance by the Roxy Girls who stopped by before kicking off their National Surf Tour, transportation courtesy of SKYY Limousine.

Also, the hosted Tommy Bahama Rum bar was a tasty treat and those cocktails were delicious (and deadly by the end of the night).  Combined with the pink Emergen-C CosMojos, whose proceeds benefited Keep-a-Breast (don’t you love a party with a cause?!), things got a little crazy by the end of the night!  Here are some photos in case it’s all a little blurry…

A Penny Saved is a Penny Earned!.

piggy-bank-sheet-1.jpgThere’s no denying that the American financial market is in deep trouble…the economy is in crisis and now more than ever, every penny counts.

As many Americans struggle to make ends meet, we’re forced to get creative with how we stretch every dollar.  To help you out, here are some easy everyday penny-pinching tricks to save more and waste less around the house:

1. Make more of your cup of joe - leave half your used coffee grounds in the filter and add half of the freshly ground coffee for a second pot.

2. More than mayo - add a few drops of vinegar when you reach the end of your jar of mayo, sprinkle in some herbs and shake well to make some salad dressing.

3. Extend battery life - try re-using dying batteries in low-energy appliances; just don’t mix old batteries with new ones.

And finally, we know that getting the most bang for your buck is more important than ever before, so the next time you need any business or service provider, be sure to check out MojoPages.com and see what you’ll be getting for the price.
