With coupons, you did like I did tonight and save a few bucks on a variety of different grocery items. Groupon let’s you save real money on some really great stuff that you’d like to do, but you didn’t want to spend the full price on it to do it.

Groupon was started by some folks in Chicago, just a short drive to north of Indianapolis and they did it so they could “enjoy all the great stuff in our hometown of Chicago”. Sounds like a good enough reason for me.

Groupon has grown to over a million users who have collectively saved more than $25 million with the service. That’s a pretty good track record for a site that hasn’t been around very long at all.

Have some fun, save some money. Groupon continues to expand, soon it will be in your city if it’s not already there now: Atlanta, Austin, Baltimore, Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Cleveland, Columbus, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Louisville, Memphis, Miami, Minneapolis/St.Paul, Nashville, New York, Omaha, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, Portland, San Antonio, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, Seattle, St. Louis, Tampa, and Washington DC.

Communication is perhaps the single area on the Internet that has exploded. There are so many ways to stay in touch and send a message on the web. The SendOutCards website helps you re-connect and communicate with people the old way. With mailed out cards, but they allow you to do it very easily. These aren’t e-cards either.

Pick your card, write your message and click send. Your message is then printed on the card, put in an envelope and sent to the recipient you specify. Remember doing that? Remember the feeling you had/have when you get "real" mail from someone?

Uncover that archaic way to send a message to someone, and help the postal service at the same time! Use SendOutCards and get your message across!

Hosting a HouseParty is NOT your mamma’s normal Tupperware party. I can say that though since there’s a long history of Tupperware dealers in my family.

My friend Cherie uncovered this little nugget of joy from the vast expanse of the inter-webs.

The website organizes parties at different individual’s homes and promote things from toys, to new TV shows, to movies and food and other household products.

House Party is a highly specialized viral marketing platform that develops and launches a thousand or more highly engaging parties in the homes of carefully selected consumers, all of which take place on the same day. The parties are attended by the host’s friends, families, neighbors and co-workers and shared by millions more who experience the party via the Internet.

A House Party is a fun, authentic, natural feeling party in the home of a trusted friend, with a brand or handful of brands injected into the center to help heighten key elements of these fun parties.

From the descriptions I’ve read on a number of the parties, the events are scheduled so that 1,000 home all over the nation are experiencing the product all at the same time. Sounds better than any 30 second commercial spot to me.

My friend is already signed up for a Fisher-Price party and I think I’m going to get my wife to do one for a Canon Scrapbooking party. Regardless, what a great way to get the word out and about and in the hands of actual consumers to see what they think. It’s taking word-of-mouth marketing to a whole new level.

Host a www.houseparty.com of your own and uncover some fun
