Well once the admins have gone so off topic...

You should have a FB share button for every blog post on the main site, so that if there's a deal some1 likes, they can 1 click share with friends.

I signed up back in 2007 because they gave me a $35 Ticketmaster GC.


Of course now you can sign up and get a $5 Amazon GC from Ohel Moshe...

You'd be part it the majority that have it but for the aforementioned purpose it doesn't really help.

Yes, the majority have it, but do the majority of those who have it use it regularly or are they like me who needed to sign up for some reason or another but never really use it?

+1.

I was thinking, even if it's not integrated, you can make it a whole new site, and a mod can edit the first post and add a link. It's a pretty descent and easy temporary solution.

Chaik'l, how about you research who does free wiki's and send me the link? It would need to be a Linux solution like php (as opposed to windows).

mediawiki http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki (might be a bit of an overkill...)

I think that a Wiki will take a lot of work to be at all usable, and there are many out there that do the job.

A bit late here but: I don't have facebook.

There is a facebook on my name that someone opened (!), don't know who, and I cannot access it.
