Disclaimer: Collective Bias, founder of My Black Friday Deals, is a client of mine. They give me money. Still, I think they’re neat and worth talking about.
If you’re crazy enough to be going out tomorrow for Black Friday shopping (I’ll be there with you as long as I can hang…probably about 15 minutes), here’s a tool you can use.
It’s called My Black Friday Deals, and it’s an interactive website designed to help consumers navigate the best deals. But the catch is…it’s not the stores telling you the deals. It’s bloggers and shoppers who are going out and creating Whrrls on the deals they find.
(What’s a Whrrl? This is a Whrrl:)
Visitors to the site can vote on the deals they like, submit their own Whrrls or photos to Flickr.
Black Friday is no longer in the hands of retailers. We, the consumers, are now in charge of spreading the word about the deals we determine to be worthy.
