Just curious, did you analyze all the comments from other sites too?

Of course the poll results are tampered with . You should release the IP address in this forum as that is the least you can do for someone that is tampering with your polls. Aren’t polls supposed to be fair ?

Paul mentions a blog post with the favorite deal site poll (link). I analyzed the comments and it appears 5 out of 8 comments parsing DealTaker came from the same IP despite different usernames/emails in the comment signature. This tells me that the poll results might also be tampered with

Media General has no idea what it is in for. What a waste of your money!! *duped*
I assume they have a good staff of lawyers as they will probably be using them. At least some of the spam on the Internet will decrease after Neal is out of the picture.

Thanks for the great review! As an investor with Media General, which has acquired the ownership of DealTaker.com, I hope they can fix any bugs, kinks, etc. and only time will tell whether Media General made a good investment or not.

Hi Neal,

Sorry about the confusion over adding a bookmark. I read the instructions but not introduction on top of it, which explains the coupon feature you explained. This is a nice feature indeed.

I quickly tested and it works as you explained. This is now my most favorite feature from your website.

Thanks
Paul

Thanks for the review of our site. I certainly appreciate the critique; We are committed to make DealTaker.com much more user friendly in the coming months.
Just to point out, On the Toolbar piece, it adds a ‘Coupon’ component to your toolbar, so when added, clicking that pops up a window with coupons for whatever site your on, rather than just a shortcut to DealTaker. We definitely need to clarify that.
Thanks again for your insightful look.
Regards,
Neal Rapoport, Founder
DealTaker.com

Recent news accounts state that Media General has bought DealTaker.com – perhaps they will fix those bugs.
