Shopping, sales and deals, Oh My.Consider creating business profiles. As opposed to check-ins, vendors could post information like items on sale and current deals. Normal users should be able to follow specific vendors or just tags, like jeans or doughnuts (generic) or specific tags like Head MicroGelTM Prestige Pro. Users then should be allowed to choose how they want to be made aware of deals. They might choose to be notified about their favorite vendors/items-by-name when items are posted, regardless the proximity. For generic tags, they might wish to be notified if they are close to a tag of interest.
You could also use Google Maps and allow them to see deals and sales along a specific route. This of course would be a beast of help when planning to shop. Which course of travel saves me the most money? A feature that allows users to post items at ridiculously low prices might be interesting too.
Another tack might be shopping events day, like a saturday. Based on tags, which implies, 'Be on the lookout for this item at really low prices!!!'. The user who post the item that other BK users ended up purchasing the most and so saved the most other BK users the most money gets something special. I'd speak to the vendors about supporting this somehow.
Think about it. If you do it, movie tickets and groups around shopping interest might be a good way to go too.-

Combine a previous account into my new account.Hi, please refer to this link:
http://getsatisfaction.com/backtype/t...
Sorry it took me so long to get back to you, but yes I would like the AS account rolled or combined (don't remember the terminology) into the MAD account. Thanks. -

"If you'd like both backtype.com URLs tied to your MAD account then I can remove the AS account and add both to your MAD account."
Yes, I've got almost everything the way I want it. Please go ahead and delete the AS account and tie MAD and AS to the MAD account. Thanks and sorry it took so long to get back. Concert coming up, Apple update killed my USB connection for a hard drive recorder. Just insane lately. Much appreciated though. -

I just logged into the MAD account to remove all pointers (there was only the one mentioned) and even with no information any of the [Claim Comments] fields, I am still getting the error message I referenced in my initial post, as though your system is seeing some information that isn't there at least for me anyway. Hope this helps. -

I have really just been experimenting, hence the AS account, only I didn't realize it. Now that I want to go all out and brand on the MAD account I might not want everything from the AS account showing up in the MAD stream. What is the process for merging, vs. me just deleting the AS account. I'm a little confused because the AS account is only pointing at AS stuff and the MAD account has nothing in it, so I don't see the conflict.
I am a programmer, so if at all possible I would like to understand what is happening. Consider it professional curiosity. As a consultant I recommend Backtype and if there is some inherent reason why people shouldn't register two separate accounts at the same time, it will certainly help me prevent myself headaches over the long run to understand this now. Thanks. -

Can't enter BackType url into [My Websites] box.When I go to the [Claim Comments] section to enter my BackType url into the [My Websites] pane, it keeps telling me "We're sorry, one or more of the URLs have already been claimed"
