Shop Bargains Facebook App Enhancements

Over the past few days we completed some enhancements to our Shop Bargains Facebook Application. One of these enhancements allows Shop Bargains app users to edit the deal categories that appear on their Facebook profile page.

Facebook left navigationFor example, let’s say Mary is interested in books, traveling, and maternity deals and wants them to appear on their Facebook profile page. Assuming Mary has installed this app (which she can do here), she should go to the app’s “canvas page” by clicking the Shop Bargains link in her Facebook account’s left navigation (as illustrated on the left). From there she will be taken to the app’s main page (the canvas page) where she can customize the deal categories appearing on her profile, invite her friends to install this app, and browse our coupons and deals.

Kudos from a Happy Shopper

One of the great things about my job is that I get to interact with the public. While this interaction is rarely face to face, it is nevertheless interaction. And even though such encounters are sometimes difficult, many times they bring me joy.

Last week I received an encouraging email from Debbie DiGirolamo. It was a simply reply to one of my newsletters I send out daily to our loyal subscribers. With her permission, I quote her note:

“I love this web site! It’s straight forward without any gimmicks. I am so pleased that I joined.”

Those kind of comments are so great to hear and go a long way in counteracting the ones that are not much fun. Thank you, Debbie, wherever you are, for your kind words!
