With last night’s release, as Dave mentioned, there were a bunch of changes to Judy’s Book and I’ll be writing more about those next week as we shake out some of the outstanding issues. One feature that I’d like to mention in the near term is Deal Alerts. In the left nav on every page, you’ll see a box that allows you to sign up for a Deal Alert for the page that you’re viewing.

Shoe Deals in Seattle

The signup process is streamlined and after you confirm your email address we’ll send you new deals that match the criteria you select. So, for example, you could sign up for “Seattle’s Best Shoe Deals” and receive that regularly via email. In keeping with the notion that you should control the communication you get, you can manage all your alerts from your profile. Membership is not required to sign up but if you do become a member, we bring all your preferences forward.

Like any new feature, perfecting this will take work, but I’m thrilled to have this released. In general, in spite of some issues we need to work out, last night’s release was a big one for us.
