I was at work this afternoon and one of my university friends, who knew that I ran a bargain website, IM’ed me a link, asking whether I knew about RetailMeNot.com. “Sure! I actually blogged about these guys almost a year ago!”

When I came home after work, my wife asked me whether I have heard of RetailMeNot.com (not again?!) and said that they are on Herald today — and surely it is, a big above-the-fold story “interviewing the Melbourne developer behind RetailMeNot.com!

They have significantly improved the website since I last wrote about them. The new theme is much nicer on the eyes (reminded me that I too need a new theme here). Besides the good old bookmarklet, they now also have Firefox extension and Mac OS X Dashboard widget. And forums. And revenue sharing via AdSense. Yet the core functionality retains its initial simplicity.

Congratulations to Guy and Bevan for making the news!
