So many new features, so many deals

Friday, September 11th, 2009

We added a bunch of new features and relaunched our home page a few weeks ago, and I am SO proud of what we have! We still need to work on fine-tuning a bunch of little things, but we’re still a two person team and now we have…

  • MySales: see all the latest on sale items, new arrivals for your favorite stores all on one page at DealDivine.com/shop
  • Price Alerts: hover over a product, select price alert, set it, and we’ll email you when that item goes on sale!
  • Tweet this: Easily tweet away deals or cool products you’ve found on DealDivine. We used Twitter oAuth, so once you linked your account, it really just take a second to tweet
  • Add products to a slideshow: before you could only add deals to a slideshow… now you can add the millions of products in our database to your slideshow

And this is on top of what we launched back in fall last year…

  • Deals. you can create and share a deal, vote on ones that you like
  • Coupons. Thousands of coupons updated daily from all the major retailers.
  • Slideshows and lists. Make slideshows/lists of deals you like

There are a bunch more stuff we want to do, but if you have any thoughts, send us an email!

Super excited for the next release of DealDivine!

We have been working on some exciting new features, and I can’t wait until it goes live! We are still debugging and testing and tweaking. But within the next month, it’ll be out and I can’t wait to get your feedback!

DealDivine made it to one of the top 10 runner ups to the Startup Nation 2009 Elevator Pitch competition :-)

Very nice to be mentioned. I probably should have practiced/refined it a bit more! And this was before some our our recent brilliant ideas… ;)

Press for DealDivine in Wisconsin State Journal

Friday, January 9th, 2009

DealDivine was mentioned in the Wisconsin State Journal yesterday! http://www.madison.com/wsj/home/local/431602

It’s always nice to get mentioned/interviewed :-) And I LOVE talking about deals, about trends I see online and at the malls. I go shopping enough at both high end retailers, normal mall stores, and outlets to know what’s going on at most levels. What a great excuse to go shopping huh? It’s research!

DealDivine added to Deals.Alltop.com

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009

DealDivine’s rss feeds have been added to deals.alltop.com!

I think Alltop.com is a great idea. I am a religious user of my.yahoo.com for the past decade, so I am rather set in my rss reader habits (switching cost is just too high!). But if you have yet to get started on a good “home page” of relevant rss feeds, I think places like Alltop and Popurl are good places to start.

New Feature! Browse through deals in a slideshow!

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

Now DealDivine.com users can browse through all the top deals in a cool slideshow mode!

Check it out here

We all love pretty pictures and this is a great way to look at the deals in a pretty format, and if you like the deal, just click on the picture or “go to deal” button to get all the details.

Go pretty pictures go!
