Dotblu, inc. is unveiling a new site with a familiar name -- Blubet!

You are invited to explore the new Blubet, where you can create and participate in bets on just about anything in the world.

How is Blubet different?

While dotblu is about asking questions to poll opinions or test the knowledge of other members, Blubet is about predicting the future.

On Blubet you can make quick and simple prediction bets with your friends, or with everyone on Blubet.

Play Blubet from your Social Networks

Blubet lets you share your blubets with friends in your favorite social networks, and even play Blubet from those social networks!

Win Big on Blubet!

Get ready to compete to get ahead of everyone else. When you join Blubet you will receive Blubucks that you can use to bet and earn even more Blubucks.

Because Blubet is different from dotblu, you will have to start a new account on Blubet with a brand new Blubucks balance.

Ready to place your bets?...

Occasionally we discover a flaw in the way that blubucks are accounted for that can be exploited to gain blubucks in ways we hadn't intended.  Most of the time, it's pretty obvious if someone is using the exploit that they've discovered something we hadn't intended.  We know that it's tempting to exploit these bugs, but if we're really going to make dotblu better, we need to know when something like this exists, otherwise we can never fix our mistakes.  We're thankful to all the honest users on the site that bring these bugs to our attention when they find out about them, a properly functioning game makes dotblu more fun for everyone.

But exploiting these bugs to inflate your worth on dotblu is not tolerated, and we will take appropriate measures when we find out about cheating.  If you're exploiting any bugs, you can be assured we'll find out about them eventually, and you're taking a risk that all the time you spent building up a wealthy profile was wasted.

In the meantime, please forward all abuse reports directly to violations@dotblu.com to make sure we will receive them.  Thanks.

Update: Auto abuse reports are working fine now, so if you see abuse on dotblu, report it!  Thanks. :)

Now you can personalize your dotblu pages with new and improved topics!  From the 'my topics' section of the 'my dotblu' menu, you can select the topics that you're interested in, and when you surf the new, hot, and closing soon sections of the site, you'll only see questions from those topics.  We've also added many new topics and subtopics so you can more specifically choose your interests. So get started selecting topics and improve your dotblu experience immediately!

As always, if you have any questions or comments about questions, categories or anything else, feel free to email us at feedback@dotblu.com or contact the House. Good luck!

Your pet will meow, bark and purr from inside your world, and romp through your grassy fields or snow drifts, whatever you happen to have on your world. You can click on them to play with them, and they behave just like real puppies and kittens. If you leave them alone for a while, they'll even take a nap until you come back to say hello again.

So head over to the dotblu store and check out all the cute puppies and kittens that are just waiting for you to give them a good home! And check out FooPets.com for even more great animated animals to call your own!

As always, if you have any questions or comments about the dotblu store, pets or anything else, feel free to email us at feedback@dotblu.com or contact the House. Good luck!

Everybody wore the same thing at the office today, so we decided to take a picture. Clockwise from top left: Kiran, Alonso, Scott, Glenn, Nikhil, Song.

dotblu has partnered with Meebo to bring instant messaging to dotblu. This is another feature we've received many requests for and we have been working for a long time to bring it to you.

With dotblu instant messaging, you are automatically signed in when you sign in on dotblu. You can see which of your friends are online, and anyone on dotblu will be able to instant message you. You'll be able to see your friends' status updates, and send messages when they're offline that will be delivered as soon as they sign on.

If you'd rather only receive IMs from your friends, you can set that in your preferences. If you would rather not be messaged, you can disable instant messaging from the chat window, by clicking on your own status message, where it says 'available'. From that drop down menu, select 'sign off chat'.

For more information about dotblu instant messaging, check out the dotblu instant messaging FAQ. As always, if you have any questions or comments about the instant messaging or anything else, feel free to email us at feedback@dotblu.com or contact the House. Good luck!

Update: dotblu is back online as of 1PM Pacific.

This is another feature we've received a lot of requests for, so we looked into it, figured out how to best make it work for dotblu, and here it is! Now you can search for your friends by name, and browse users by age, gender and location.

You can get started with the new features from the main dotblu page or look for the "browse people" and "find friends" sections of the "community" menu at the top of the page.

At the moment, we're aware that the location search isn't working in the browse section. We should have that fixed by tomorrow, probably.

Have fun finding new friends and connecting with old ones! As always, if you have any questions or comments about the dotblu community or anything else, feel free to email us at feedback@dotblu.com or contact the House. Good luck!
