THIS Could Be Dangerous
Up to this point in my life, I’ve not really bridged the gap of buying things myself online. I’ve done a few things around holidays. But most of the time I just tell my hubby what book I need for book club and he gets it for me. I’ve never even set up my own Amazon account. There’s a hump you have to get over when it comes to actually buying stuff by clicking your mouse and entering payment information. I haven’t crossed it yet, but it could be on the horizon for me because now he’s come up with this:
I just started playing with the beta version in the past 10 minutes and I could get seriously hooked. The way that it displays great deals, showing your savings is awesome. But the fact that if you just click on the image to get more details, the gadget actually LEARNS what you like - well that’s amazing. That means over time that little baby can be your best shopping buddy, finding deals for you on things you’d actually buy. In 5 minutes I found the new Harry Potter book pre-buy for nearly 50% off cover price, Fillet Mignon packs for 30% off and a tool kit that was over 70% off. That’s shopping power. This could be dangerous!

Go play and let me know what you think! (You’d think he’d not WANT me to shop but when he makes it this easy he better watch out!)

I love this wiget of Blake’s. Already added it to my Google Homepage.
I tried to leave him a comment, but something was wonky with his blog comments feature.
Yeah, it’s been a rough day or so with database stuff for him…I’ll be sure to pass it along!

Once you get over the hump, there’s no turning back. Several years ago, I showed my wife how to surf the web. Now, she’s online every night and UPS stops by once or twice a week.
ROFL…Do you know the UPS deliverer by name?

Yup… and what’s worse, is that I’m part of a survey site that rewards with points… get so many points and they let you choose between $5, $10 amazon certificates or paypal. makes me shop online a lot more!
Look out then because this Amazon widget is addictive!
