DealCatcher.com

I thought that the guys from dealcatcher.com gave a really interesting presentation in class the other day. It was really interesting to hear how they stated in a bedroom buying server space for $8.00 a month to a company that generates millions of dollars in income for a bunch of different companies. I had never heard of deal catcher until the presentation but was some what surprised when i heard the purpose of the web site. It was hard to imagine that a site that basically functioned as a massive referrer to other sites could be that profitable. I also found it interesting that their company spent relatively nothing on advertising and spread solely on word of mouth.
