  I like it - And I would use it.  I didn't know many of these existed.

I believe this kind of service would work better as an email newsletter. I wouldn't mind receiving a weekly/biweekly email with hot deals relevant to my interests. I think you should push deals to the people (i.e. email) instead of pulling people to the deals (website). A bare minimum would be an RSS feed although I think email would work better in this case.

Yup, it's next on the list of features. I would love to get an idea if people are interested in it or it's just me. I've been having this idea for a while, just this holiday, I'm able to get around doing it. Your feedback is encouraging. Thank you.

Hmmmm, didn't realized that when I was doing it. I was thinking of using primary colours - RGB and since I used blue in my last project - hiredturf.com, I was just choosing between green and red. Guess is just a coincidence.

I'd rather see this as a newsletter too. In fact, please reach out to me when it is available. Thanks.
