Remembering 9/11

September 9, 2011 • 12:11 pm • Posted by Jennifer in Commentary

It’s hard to believe that Sunday will mark the 10th Anniversary of the terrorist attacks that hit the World Trade Center.

Bidmyway Mobile App Launch

September 6, 2011 • 10:58 am • Posted by Jennifer in Technology

We’re excited to say that our client, Bidmyway, launched its deals application. What makes it different than all the other deals applications being thrown your way? It’s hyperlocal and only in Chicago (for now).

The app is available to download on the iPhone and Android today and it makes it easier than ever to snag a deal. All you have to do is pick a deal type that you’re interested in whether it be dining, drinks, shopping etc. You set your own budget depending on how much you want to spend on any given day and then all the deals that fit your criteria are mapped out for you to pick from.

How much easier can it get? The fact that it’s a free app is also something worth mentioning. So go ahead and check it out. We’re pretty excited that it’s on TechCrunch too. Don’t be shy, tell us what you think.
