Technology- New Judy’s Book Features
The stuff that I’ve been working on at Judy’s Book is finally live in production and open to the public. Go check out
Judy’s Book Deals and the Judy’s Book Dealbar.
Judy’s Book Deals responds to one of the key things that have been missing from Judy’s Book so far. Judy’s book so far is a great
place to share tips about a great place to eat or service professionals, but many people have been asking for a place to share the
latest great deals. There are several other existing deal sites but usually they are just steering you towards whatever will make
the site owner the most money, not necessarily the best deal. With our site we take the approach that the community of users rank which
deals are actually best for you.
The dealbar is the thing I’ve been working on myself most recently and it is a bit more experimental. As you surf around the Internet,
it knows about the best deals as ranked on the Judy’s Book Deals site and will let you know about deals relevant to the site you are currently on.
The cool thing is you might be on some site about to buy something and it can let you know about a special configuration that has a better discount
or a coupon code. I know there have been several times I’ve gone to buy something and had to cross-check several web-sites to make sure
I’m getting the best price available. Of course this relies on great deals existing on the main site…
In any case its been a fun and interesting experience working on this new direction for the past few months. Its pretty clear
that its all going to need some tweaking as we go along so we still have our work cut out for us.
