this is pretty much how all the deal sites work now, like groupon for example. I personally don't appreciate it, but thats why creating fake email accounts or using gmail's filters is necessary.
Wow. A bit surprised this is on HN. We are testing as usual...
Seems to be working for Groupon so worth giving it a try
I don't know if I agree with you or not. 8coupons.com counted 180 Groupon "clones" so far. How do you stand out in that kind of crowd if you're all playing the same game?
