Want to Partner?

We've been recently working with popular deal sites to aggregate more deals into our engines for our visitors to vote on.

The US Site is pretty flushed out, but we're still looking for high quality sites.

Also if you are a Canadian or UK deal site, we would be interested in working together.

Have fun shopping!

Great Partners! More Deals! Hurray!

So the team at Deal Comet has started partnering with some popular deal and coupon sites to provide you with the best bargains across the web. You'll start seeing more and more of them soon.

Currently, we are testing a few select sites, and we are trying to improve our backend algorithms before introducing more sites. So if you have a great site, and we've talked about partnering, you'll soon start to see your deals soon enough. If we haven't contacted you, we probably haven't found your site, so just leave us a comment down below, and we'll contact you shortly.

Keep rating our deals and coupons, so the best bubble up to the top.

Stay tuned for the best deals.

Quick Visual Refresh

We've been listening to your feedback (apparently over the holidays). Click Here We decided to push out the latest build after a test pass. This is a purely UI refresh, so this is actually working on the same backend as our main page, so it was very low risk.


What changed?
1. Added a colored background/margin, so you won't burn your eyes from the excessive white that was on the page (our test team wanted this too, because the site was too bright when working late at night). Some of you mentioned we needed this "spice."
2. "View All " links for Most Favorited and Most Recent, so you can see more deals.
3. Header is cleaner

• cleaner logo
• banner is no longer blurry
• new tagline : "saving you money, one deal at a time"
• made navigation bigger and more tab-like (we'll actually fully flesh these out into cool menus once we solidify what the menu will do and how it will work).
• what are those words under the search boxes? why those are recent searches, and now it is clearly marked

Of course, if anything is broken and blocking you . . . Please let us know what happened too, so we can fix it.

We're also still talking about whether we should move the pictures of the products to the left, and how to revamp the voting. We're also implementing other suggestions, so sorry if your suggestion didn't make it yet . . . it is the holidays ;) Give us a break!

Anyways, keep the great feedback coming. We're always listening.

Alpha . . . Not Beta

We were browsing our server logs, and we noticed we were getting traffic from: http://momb.socio-kybernetics.net/alpha/deal-comet

Lo and behold (is that right?) , we've got our own little spot in the Museum of Modern Betas (although technically we're still in Alpha).

Looks like people are starting find our little corner of the internet. We've still got a lot of goodness planned before we actually move into Beta, so you'll see our service improve a lot.

Anyways, back to work.

Deal Comet Brings Joy This Holiday Season

So the Deal Comet team is pretty much on vacation for the holidays, so that's why you haven't seen many updates recently. Oddly though, I still see checkins from supposed OOF people. Naughty developers (I can imagine them with a plate full of turkey in one hand, and a laptop in the other).

So I kinda felt guilty for not contributing, so I decided to whip up a quick blog post. Without new features, where would I find an inspiration for a blog topic?

Well, so I started perusing through Deal Comet and I noticed this little oddity. Someone searched for happy on Deal Comet!

I guess in the course of building Deal Comet, we never expected people would turn to us to help them find happiness. I guess that's what that little tingle is that you feel when you find out that the two coupons are stackable and just saved you a bundle . . . happiness. That feeling you get when you find out that you also got free shipping is blissful joy . . . not to be confused with simple happiness.

Anyways, it is time for this blogger to venture off to gorge on left over turkey. I hope you found happiness anonymous user.

Happy Holidays from the Deal Comet team.

Deal Comet Launches In Alpha

Yay! After a lot of great feedback from our Pre-Alpha members, we've implemented a lot of changes, and have a good idea for where we want to go next. There weren't any big show stoppers, so we decided to declare Deal Comet in Alpha Release Mode!

We deleted all the test data and accounts (so you'll need to sign up again). All the data is now real and live! Start posting your best deals!

Update: Please expect some degree of service flakiness as we perfect the site and work our way out of Alpha.

Deal Comet Launches in Pre Alpha!!!

What is a pre-alpha?
Imagine a beta being a precursor to a final release. Then imagine an alpha being a precursor to an alpha. Well, I guess a prealpha is sort of a beta for an alpha.

Anyways, we've shipped a pre-alpha build to production, and have sent out some invites to some close friends and family.

This is basically our last chance to really hardcore test the code, before we declare it alpha!

All the data will be wiped out, before we declare alpha (so go ahead and put up as much garbage as you want). Feel free to hack the system too!

So let us know about all the bugs you found, anything that seems confusing, or any feedback you might have!
