Woohoo! We just pushed the 1.1 version of dealplumber live, this weekend.

The last 4-6 months has been a great learning experience for us, as we looked at the site’s usage pattern, user feedback and merchant transactions. The 1.1 version has a number of interesting features which will allow us to scale the site going forward while keeping it useful, quick and valuable for our users. Here are some of the key updates:

* Categories: We have moved from a purely tag-based system to a category driven approach which will allow the deals to be structured in a manner that users look for deals. This was one of the key feedbacks from our initial users. It seems like most deal seeking users like to browse for deals, rather than search for them. The browsing experience is a lot more easier with categories and sub categories that you are already familiar with.
* Post a Deal: The deal posting form is streamlined to make it easier for all you dealplumber contributors to get your best deals posted faster than ever before.
* How good is the deal really?: We obssess about finding ways for enabling users to get the best deals. Many times we have noticed that the deal price is higher than the total lowest price on Shopping.com. So we got our engineers to show you the current lowest price on Shopping.com for any deal item so you make the right buy. You can compare prices as well to see what your favorite retailer is selling that item for. We have more deal intelligence coming your way. Stay tuned.
* Saving you more across all your buying needs: We added a bunch of newer categories to allow the dealplumber community to share deals on credit cards, online subscriptions, air tickets and a lot more. We expect these new categories to help users to save more with all their purchases.

Take a look and let us know if you have any questions. We will be adding more features in the coming weeks and I will keep you posted.
