I loved the Zazz! guys. They are unique. The copy is humorous. They sell geeky stuff. Most importantly, the price is cheap — only if you catch it before they sold out. It also got me a bad habit of sleeping a few minutes after the mid-night so I can see what’s on sale.

So a few minutes of coding last night I now have a little script that download Zazz!’s latest product and reformatted to a sidebar block. If Jumba‘s crontab is working properly (somehow it did not run this morning), this script should be executed at 12:05am everyday. It’ll hopefully remind me (and visitors here) what’s on sale at Zazz!

I am also planning to integrate some web services on the sidebar. For example if on-line discount stores provide RSS feed (so far I have only found Deals Direct had one), I can have an aggregator somewhere. Any other idea?

Update: Quoted from Zazz’s Mates page:

Scott and the rest of the OzBargainBlog team have been super awesome fantastic in promoting us to their readers. They even created a sidebar on their website that shows the zazz of the day! Thanks guys, we love you.

Awesome! No problem mate! Except it is only me here blogging. Now, where is my OzBargainBlog team? Are they on-sale somewhere?
