Office Moved
We had moved ... well ... just a little bit ... to the building next door. Lower rental fee per square foot. Pretty sweet.

Recommended Coupon Sites
Months ago, Judy's Book, an online shopping site for women was reported with plan to scale down. That news pretty much cast shadow on one of our sister site which also caters toward female shoppers online. Amidst the housing crunch down turn these days, some people feel being frugal is now more important than before and predict discount shopping section should benefit from the increasing awareness of online coupon usage. I hope so too. In the discount shopping section, I personally think two sites, Boddit and RetailMeNot, are two coupon sites that widely covers online offers. I'm not sure why them two looks so alike in presentation. Maybe they're related. If you know, feel free to comment and share with our readers. For our sister site - HerCoupon.com - designed primarily for women, I encourage you to pay a visit and give thoughts to share as well.

RSS Marketing Podcast Mentioned Keeca
This RSS marketing podcast is probably the first one that mentioned us. Specifically, the host said our coupon RSS feed is ... brilliant. You can download and listen to 2007-06-21.mp3. Keeca was mentioned at around 9 minutes and 30 seconds from the beginning of this podcast. By the way, our site 'Keeca' should be pronounced as in 'key-ka', not 'key-sa', aiming to help online merchants keep their customers coming back often.

Shopper-Driven Interests
If you like the concept of Reddit, Digg, or del.icio.us, we have something similar to offer - user-driven popularity - an extension to our recently launched most popular click-to-merchant deals.
All deals were not issued equally attractive. One may think a deal is attractive, the other may have different opinion on the same deal. We'd like to leverage statistics generated from users of our site who are all potential shoppers, and name such level of attractiveness as 'interests.' 'Interests' is all about shopper-driven popularity within a limited time frame no longer than its lifetime during which a deal is valid (non-expired). To calculate and derive 'interests', every deal is automatically and implicitly voted on by anonymous shoppers when they click on a deal listing (promotional code, coupon, sale, or product deal listing) and go onto merchant site.
As a result, on a merchant's deal page, we start to present listings in the order of 'interests' as voted implicitly by shoppers. The implicitness should void the concern of user-driven content equals courtroom danger, and respect the anonymous status of all voters. I personally feel the approach is really useful to present merchant with handful offers not easily fit into one short page so readers can quickly spot great deals.

Keeca Pick, You Save!
We ditched our old site tagline and launched our new site slogan of,
"You find. You Shop. You Save"
in late April amids some minor homepage rearrangement. To assure you'll save money online, we've decided to better utilize Keeca.com premium homepage placement to present our pick of great shopping deals. In stead of rotating through several computer-picked hot deals a day, we'll take up the efforts of finding you a couple REALLY good deals of our editorial pick with 125x125 images by putting real human brains behind our picks. We name it KEECA'S PICK. KEECA'S PICK is now on Keeca.com homepage.
Similar to Woot!, each Keeca's pick will be an awesome deal. Unlike Woot, we'd focus on selecting generic online coupons and web sales as Keeca's Picks for the most part, rather than specific products unless the product is a super hot deal in our view. If you're a Woot-addicted already, we don't blame you. Come and check out the face-off between Woot and Yugster.
