Never Miss Another Swag Code
You read that right. Today we’re unveiling our biggest tip yet and it will ensure you never miss another Swag Code… at least not while you’re sitting at the computer.
For those of you who are familiar with RSS and Aggregators, skip to the graphic below.
What if we told you that you could have a program that posted all the news from the WLSB blog and the WLSB and WLSBot Twitter pages in one place? What if that same program also posted the latest entries from the official Swag Bucks blog, YouTube channel and Twitter page? What if we told you that this program constantly checked all of these places for any updates, politely alerted you when a new post had been made, and gave you a link to the post? What if it did all this in the background and interacted with you from a tiny icon in your system tray?
Sounds too good to be true? It isn’t.
What all the above listed pages have in common is that their updates are available through an RSS feed, a simplified summary of a frequently updated webpage’s contents.
One of the great things about RSS feeds is that they are so easily handled, especially by a group of software programs referred to collectively as News Aggregators. This fancy term simply means a program that takes news streams, in the form of RSS feeds, from many different places and puts them together in one place for you to access easily.
Armed with a good news aggregator and all your Swag Bucks RSS feeds, you can sit back and wait for Swag Code news to come to you. (more…)

Introducing: the WLSB Swag Bucks toolbar
Earlier today on the Swag Bucks blog you may have read about the ability to create custom Swagbucks.com toolbars.
While these toolbars only work with Internet Explorer (WLSB are die-hard Firefox users) the concept struck a chord with us. We are always interested in new ways for WLSB readers to get to the WLSB blog and Twitter pages quickly, get the latest codes, and get them entered into their account pages before they expire.
With that functionality in mind, we created the WLSB toolbar.
The toolbar is a Swag Army Knife that you can take with you while you surf the web. It has everything you need including:
- Quick button to WLSB blog.
- Quick buttons to the WLSB Twitter page and the WLSBot Twitter page.
- Quick links to crucial Swag Bucks pages including the account page (so you can enter those codes fast!) and the Swag Bucks Blog, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube pages.
Top this all off with a handy Swag Bucks search box and you’ve got yourself one handy tool.
All you IE users can download the toolbar here:

Enjoy! And let us know what you think.

300 hits!
We want to pause and thank all the Swaggernauts out there who follow WLSB. Yesterday we hit the 300 visitors per day mark!
We hope everyone finds WLSB helpful. Ultimately we want to pad your Swag Bucks account with as many bucks as possible. Part of loving Swag Bucks is loving the idea everyone getting Swag Bucks of their own.
So here’s hoping you stick with us and enjoy the ride as much as we have.
We Love Swag Bucks!

Introducing: The WeLoveSwagBot
Hi Everyone,
We’re very excited to introduce to you the WeLoveSwagBot. He loves Swag Bucks as much as we do, but unlike us he never sleeps. He spends 100% of his time reviewing posts on the official Swag Bucks blog and Swag Bucks twitter pages for any hint of a Swag Code. When he finds information that makes his diodes light up, he uploads the data to his own twitter feed.
We hope this is great news for all you loyal WLSB followers. Until today we’ve always had to apologize for missing late night codes. Honestly we’ve felt bad that we couldn’t keep a 24 hour a day vigil, poised to post news of any wee-hour Swag Codes. And while the WeLoveSwagBot is still in beta testing, he’s been doing a fair enough job of finding Swag Codes that we feel we can let him out to meet the Swaggernaut public.
Once again, he’s still in beta testing and may have some false positives but if you’re like us you’re going to follow any leads you can if it means the possibility of Swag Bucks being added to your account.
Use the link below to start following the WeLoveSwagBot

Shucks… he’s a cute lil fella.

Sorry for the interruption, life happening
Hi All… Sorry for the interruption in tweets and posts. WLSB has had a busy week.
First of all some life has been happening. We won’t go into details about weddings or funerals but I’m sure we’ve all been in a similar situation where the peripheries of our lives get placed on pause.
Secondly, WLSB is in the process of moving to a new home. This has thrown the calm steady pace of our lives a real curve ball and subsequently we aren’t on the computer as regularly (read 24-7) as usual.
So we apologize for missing a couple of codes. We hope you stick with us on the blog and on twitter.
We love all the folks who have been following us and sending us such positive feedback.
