It’s Labor Day Sale Everywhere Meenakshi August 30

It’s Labor Day weekend, and, for me, there are several reasons to celebrate. Forms of celebration include picnics, barbecues, fireworks displays, water sports, and public art events. Families with school-age children take it as the last chance to travel before the end of summer.

Online retailers are gearing up for a flurry of holiday sales, they are doing whatever they possibly can to motivate shoppers. One of the biggest motivating factors to get out and shop is the “Discounts and Offers”

Reviews & Feedback Vaibhav July 19

Its been an exciting 48 hours since launch. We have all been monitoring the site, getting the word out, and connecting with partners and mapping the road the ahead. Going live was the first big milestone, but in a lot of ways, our real challenging journey begins now. We are happy to see the early reviews coming in from the blogsphere and are including the suggestions in our roadmap. Here is a quick look at some of the reviews of dealplumber:

Pete @ Mashable:

I think Dealplumber has done a good job in a number of ways: it fulfils a real need, it’s simply designed and they’re leveraging the community to help with promotion. It’s not a new idea by any means, but I think the execution is commendable.

Sid @ rev2.org:

I think as a new startup in this timeframe, Dealplumber have got a lot of things right. For starters they’ve made the RSS feeds significantly visible in places, plan to launch an API soon (which is great to see), have a reasonable UI and interface, and they’ve given contributers a good incentive to contribute. If I was someone looking for deals I’d go there and if I was someone looking to give people deals in return for a tiny share then I’d certainly go there, so there’s something in it for everyone.

RotorBlog:

Another, and I think also very nice, project is Dealplumber. It offers more or less the same search features, but there is some more services that is very good for users - subscribe to deals via RSS, share deals & earn and others.

PostBubble:

As far as a user looking for value/coupons, this site should take the whole idea to the next level. Seamus McCauley mentions the idea of “smart aggregation” and that’s really what Dealplumber is bringing to this type of site.One problem that everybody faces is having to shop around for deals and while solving that problem is somewhat lofty, there is certainly something to be said about a site that will at least go in that direction.

ShoutBlog:

I would place dealplumber as the current leader. While both have similar features, such as expiring soon coupons and most recent deals, I find the interface of dealplumber to be much more user friendly. dealspl.us’s staple is their digg style plus rating system, which I like, and I think it will be well received among users as their site grows. dealplumber seems to have a much more extensive database of deals and products, which is surprising because they were launched later dealspl.us.

The immediate feedback from the blogosphere is what makes it so valuable for any consumer Internet startup today. All these reviews and the comments on those posts are great inputs as we introduce new features and execute heads-down. Thanks to everyone for contributing with posts as well as comments and stay tuned.
