OurDeals.ca

I wanted to get a slice of the booming Canadian daily deals action, so registered the domain OurDeals.ca at the beginning of October. Still working with my development team on the form it will take, but pretty excited about the project.

Someone already expressed an interest last week in buying it before we even launched, but never followed through on my consideration to sell it. Maybe they want to wait and see the final site?

The traffic has already started and I'm not sure why as we haven't promoted it yet. If anyone has linked to or mentioned it, would appreciate a heads-up for a thank you!

Here's a cool, timely article from Techvibes detailing the Canadian daily deals sector.

Update December 1, 2011

We have decided to sell the domain. Offers welcome!

On A Personal Note

It's been a busy few weeks for me.

On the day job front, we launched our first-ever online Annual Report 2008-2009 at the school; 15 days from start to finish. I was the project manager, and had the support of an excellent team of people.

On a personal note, Karim Kanji was also kind enough to ask me "5 Questions ..." for his Techvibes blog. (Met him at PodCamp Toronto 2010, nice guy.)

And, to round off on the start-up front, Mashable finally featured Greenscroll. That's great exposure for us! (Candice Batista also interviewed some Greenscroll team members for her new upcoming TV show.)
