For those of you who haven’t heard, last week we announced that you can earn $10 gift cards to your favorite online retailers by spreading the news about our new service plans. It’s easy, just share you personalized link with friends and we’ll give you a $10 gift card for every friend that subscribes to Pogoplug Family, Pogoplug Team and Pogoplug PC. There is no maximum to how many gift cards you can earn, so tell everyone you know and treat yourself to a Pogoplug-funded shopping spree at major retailers including Amazon, Walmart, Starbucks, Lowe’s and Target.

Today, we are proud to announce our new cloud storage services for families and small businesses. The services seamlessly integrate Pogoplug-enabled storage in the home or office with Amazon’s Glacier offsite storage. This combination provides the most affordable and safest multi-user cloud backup, with instant access and sharing from anywhere on the Internet.

With just one click, our new Family and Team subscriptions will enable you to continuously copy all or part of your data to Pogoplug’s secure offsite cloud. Any changes you make to your original folder will be synchronized automatically. Archiving is only available with our new plans for Teams and Families, so upgrade—and never worry about data loss again.

Today we are proud to announce the opening of Pogoplug’s Help Center.  The Help Center contains our knowledge base, instructional videos, and customer support, and is the new home for our community forum, formerly hosted on Pogoplugged. The new Pogoplug Help Center is the perfect place to learn more about Pogoplug, get answers to your FAQs, submit a support ticket, or chat with other Pogoplug users.

In the new Pogoplug Help Center you can:

• Find answers to your most frequently asked questions, tips on troubleshooting and how-to guides in our updated Knowledge Base.
• Watch video walkthroughs of Pogoplug features in our brand new Videos section.
• Talk with other Pogoplug users, share tips, tricks and hacks, and chat about Pogoplug (or whatever else) in our new User Forums.
• Create a support ticket with our dedicated customer service team, who can provide solutions to your problems 24/7, in the Ask Support tab.

If you have any questions about the migration or suggestions how we can improve the Help Center, let us know in the Help Center Discussion forum thread.  We’re confident these changes will improve your Pogoplug experience. Enjoy!
