FollowFriday – Friday, March 19, 2010

Friday, March 19th, 2010
FollowFriday : On any given Friday, thousands upon thousands (maybe even millions) of Twitter users enter the hashtag #FollowFriday (or #FF), followed by one or more “mentions.” The idea is for users to share the names of other “interesting people” that they follow and think you should too. These recommendations serve as positive comment cards for the digitally inclined.

JumpstartMyPC.com has decided to bring FollowFriday to our blog. Read on and, if you are so inclined, add these “interesting people” to your own list.

Great Deals Delivered to Your Inbox – Groupon.com

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

logoOur goal here at JumpstartMyPC.com is to help PC users get the most out of their computer.  We’ve mentioned this in many of our articles, but I often look back on this mission statement to make sure that we are providing you, the readers, with valuable, useful information.  I also make sure that the products, gadgets, software and sites we recommend are something that I would or have used myself for some time.  Today I bring you a site that I have been watching for some time.  Groupon.com

Groupon.com is a “daily-deal” type site, but with a twist.  The deal is a coupon for a local business that is only valid when there is enough interest from the group (thus the name Groupon).  Luckily, for the majority of our readers, Houston is one of the cities featured on the site.  Here is how it works.  A new “item” is posted each day and site visitors can decide whether they want the deal or not.  When enough people commit to a purchase of the item, “the deal is on!”  The time counts down (since the deal is only good for one day) and anyone else can jump in before it expires.  The idea is fabulous, but the execution is even better.  Here are some of the top reasons that Groupon.com is a must-add for your favorites:

Flexible Holiday Shopping – Deals for People Who Don’t Know What They Want

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

This week it just seems impossible to get away from the Holiday Gift shopping discussion.  I finally decided this morning that I would just give in and make this week all about shopping and where to find some great deals.  After all, who wouldn’t want to know where to find the best bargains on the internet.

Yesterday, we talked about comparing Black Friday ads with online deals in our article titled Stay Home on Black Friday – Get Better Deals Now! Today we will focus on a different kind of bargain shopping.  In the event that you don’t know exactly what you are looking for, there are some sites that have great bargains on a range of items.  By watching/checking these sites regularly you might find a unique idea for that special someone this holiday season.
