What's New at the Snowbird Network - March 2002

Growth
With your help, Snowbird just gets bigger and better. We are now tracking at 1/4 million visitors a year and growing. Because of this, and because of a site redesign, we've actually been able to reduce the number of advertisements to cover our costs. This is a win-win situation since it makes content clearer for visitors and ads even more effective for advertisers. To Advertise Click Here

Search
Visitors have told us (and we've long recognized) the need for it to be easier to find stuff. But - Because there is so much content - And because so much of it is "live", setting up a search capability is very tricky. We now have several thousand pages of content indexed and the bottom line is this. We have a new search engine that is very fast, very comprehensive and live! To Search Click Here

Monthly Specials
This is a new experiment. We run into many offers of interest to snowbirds that are either free, nearly free or such good value that they can't be ignored. These special offers are usually time limited, so we've created a dynamic page that lists all these specials. If it's a success (and we think it will be) we'll expand it in the future.

Health
The health section continues to be very popular. And although there is already a lot of content there - We've added more. Real-time news feeds of health information from around the world and (since laughter is the best medicine) a comprehensive joke section. Health Section Click Here

Insurance
There's been a lot going on here. Due to popular demand, we've added some "how to" information on life insurance. And we've also centralized the one-stop-shop area. This means that you can now get multiple quotes on multiple insurance products from multiple providers from one central area. US residents, now have virtually all the bases covered. Canadian residents have the major bases covered and additional providers are being added even now. For the Insurance Section Click Here

Travel
The travel section is undergoing a major overhaul. You can now get quotes, check availability and book online. There is also greater access to travel industry news. Knowing what's going on in the travel industry is not just interesting, it makes you a smarter consumer. Travel Section Click Here

Coming Soon + Feedback
We're upgrading the Real Estate and Classified Ad section to improve functionality. The financial section will have new content and, most importantly, we'll be implementing the changes you have suggested.
