Thanks to all our new users from TechCrunch — we’re glad to have you on board! You burned through that promo code in minutes.

Also, with the surge in volume on our beta site, it takes about 15 minutes to get points recorded and up on your account status.

Once again, thank you!

EUREKA! It works!

After waiting, revising, deliberating, and testing—I’ve officially completed the first marketplace transaction. Do the happy dance!

So, the process is really very simple—here’s what I did:

I added the urTurn Rewards application to my Facebook account, and started earning points. Those points are already stored in my user account on urTurn.com. I logged into my urTurn account, and I have all these tools available to me. I can post my points for sale. I can also post a desire to buy points. Or when I earn enough points, I can redeem them for some awesome prizes like an iPhone or Visa Gift card. Granted, I’m a little biased, but I think that’s pretty awesome!

Now, to the nitty gritty. Mark (CEO) and I got together and went through our first online trade and transaction. He posted an offer to sell points. I thought his offer was a deal (he he), so I “took” the offer. The process was simple. I accepted his offer, and it brought me to transaction page where it conveniently linked up my PayPal account, and I sent the cash. He got the cash; I get the points—what more could you ask for?

So, now we’re going through the site with a fine-tooth comb. Adding in all those pesky disclaimers and warning pop-up messages—make sure the users fully know and understand what is happening, while it’s happening. Oh yeah, we would also love to make sure that its user friendly. So for all of you overachievers—have any input?

Earn rewards on Facebook, MySpace and other social networks for your everyday activities, then buy, sell, or redeem your points for cash and prizes.

Welcome to the new and improved urTurn (urTurn 2.0?), where we haven’t forgotten that every click should count, but we’ve found a better way to reward you. We have developed a new web solution which allows you to earn points and then buy, sell, or redeem those points for cash and prizes.

How do you earn points? Subscribe to the urTurn Widget on various social networks – currently Facebook with MySpace coming soon and more to follow – and activate your account. Check in periodically on the widget to see the points accumulate for your everyday social network activity. Forward the widget to your friends to see your points multiply.

What do you do with points? Come to the urTurn Marketplace to buy, sell, or redeem your points. UrTurn has a collection of prizes and cash rewards that you can redeem points for at specific values. If you can’t make the point level for a particular prize, buy the points in the Marketplace. If you have a few points, sell them to others chasing a prize.

We’re finishing up and finalizing functionality and features for the Marketplace and Widget, so are operating in a private beta mode for the next several weeks. If you would like to participate, please sign up on the marketplace at www.urturn.com, and you will receive a confirmation email when your account is approved. For urTurn social network users, sign up with your social network email address for faster access.

We hope you enjoy the new urTurn – let us know what you think, and we’ll see you online
