Concepts/Ideas/Inspirations

The idea of social bookmarking/collaborative bargain sharing is nothing new. Ideas behind OzBargain were shamelessly stolen from these great projects:

• Digg — the most popular social bookmarking/voting site out there.
• RetailMeNot — the idea of grouping deals according to domain names.
