Featured Products from Deals Direct and OO.com.au
If you haven’t noticed, I am now putting featured products from Deals Direct and OO.com.au on sidebar, right below the spot currently occupied by Zazz. They alternate between DD and OO. Well, not exactly true as it is all determined by the random generator so you might keep on seeing products from the same company when you navigate through this site.
Featured products list from Deals Direct is generated from its RSS feed — which is so much easier to work with. On the other hand, products list from OO.com.au is generated from scrapping its home page, which is potential to break if they ever change the site layout.
Also they have relatively large featured products lists. 20+ products from both, so I am only randomly picking 3-5 products to show. Nothing contextual about the way the product is picked — all in the name of randomness.
Special thanks to Leigh from Deals Direct for letting me know about the availability of their RSS feeds, and Charmaine from OO.com.au who submitted the new products to the forums :)
