Wow what a start to the year.

With the influx of over 25,000 new members in the past few weeks we’ve been extremely busy building up our hardware to cope with so many students accessing our exclusive deals and discounts.

No wonder our facebook fan page has been going from strength to strength - 6313 fans and counting….

This leads me on to the launch of our facebook application, which brings you all the latest studentbeans.com offers straight to facebook.

The application provides a live stream of up to date discounts, offers, sales as well as great tips for student to use every day of the week straight to your facebook profile. It’s easy to use and provides the perfect way to stay up to date with the best ways to save your cash! CLICK HERE to add the application to your facebook profile.

We must be doing something right! Microsoft seem to be pleased with us. They noticed a surge of orders when Microsft Office 2007 was mentioned on studentbeans.com

We’re currently beavering away on a new project ‘Beanzine’. For now I’ll leave that up to your imagination. Until next time…
