Available now throughout the U.S. and U.K., The Dealmap aggregates more than 300,000 local deals on its website, and allows consumers to sign up for daily deal emails and deal alerts via Twitter in more than 20 cities. As part of today’s product launch, The Dealmap has also published publicly available APIs for its unique local deal data which developers can access from its website. Six launch partners have already signed up to use these APIs to integrate The Dealmap's content to enhance their services.<br /><br />The Dealmap cuts through the maze of paper coupons, e-mail newsletters and stacks of newspaper ads to help consumers easily find local deals, coupons and discounts that appeal to their personal interests, all in one place. People will find deals for businesses in their neighborhood ranging from offers from national sources like Restaurant.com, Citysearch and Merchant Circle, to deals from social media sources like Foursquare and Twitter, to the largest collection of popular daily deals, and even unadvertised, previously hard-to-find deals from individual merchants. By aggregating the largest number of deals from local businesses, providing powerful browsing and filtering functionality, and including game-like incentives and rewards, The Dealmap makes finding and sharing deals fun, useful and rewarding. Owned and operated by Center’d Corp., The Dealmap also integrates content and technology from the popular Center’d® site, including aggregated and summarized data from consumer reviews about local businesses to help consumers find deals based on their interests.<br /><br />“The confluence of consumer demand for local deals, location-based services and social media presents a very large market opportunity, and we are well positioned to capitalize on these trends,” said Jennifer Dulski, co-founder and chief executive officer of Center’d. “Our local expertise, combined with our ability to integrate hundreds of partners, has enabled us to create an exciting and intuitive way for people to find and share great local deals.”<br /><br />In the coming weeks, the Dealmap will also launch an iPhone application, enhancing the benefits of the service by allowing consumers access to the largest number of local deals where ever they are.<br /><br /><br />Bringing Hard-to-Find Deals Online<br /><br />In addition to aggregating local deals from the largest number of existing sources, The Dealmap aims to make previously hard-to-find deals easily discoverable. Many such deals are not actively advertised and are only promoted at local businesses themselves. The Dealmap makes it easy for both businesses and consumers to add deals for free, and will make this functionality available on its soon-to-be-released mobile applications as well. To make submitting deals and using the site fun and competitive for consumers, The Dealmap has created game-like features and rewards. People can attain status levels, collect badges, and even receive free gift certificates by becoming “Deal Heroes” and submitting deals that help others save money. Businesses who submit deals can instantly gain distribution throughout The Dealmap network, including its website, social media applications, emails, partner sites, and future mobile applications.<br /><br /><br />Largest Local Deal Source Available to Developers<br /><br />In conjunction with the launch of its service, The Dealmap has created publicly available APIs that enable developers to add unique local deal content to their sites or applications for free. The APIs allow developers to search for deals, businesses and locations, and to submit deals. A number of partners, including WHERE, AmericanTowns, BigTent, Drinksin, eviesays.com and Wantsa, have already signed up to use The Dealmap APIs to integrate local deal content into their respective services. Each company will highlight different use cases for the content, through a variety of mediums with different audiences, demonstrating the broad appeal of the content. More information on the APIs, including documentation and discussion boards, can be found at http://www.thedealmap.com/api.<br /><br />“Having a number of companies already using our content is a great validation, and I’m excited to see what types of innovative applications other entrepreneurial developers create using our unique content and APIs,” said Chandu Thota, co-founder and chief technology officer of Center’d. “The scalable technology platform we’ve created for processing, matching and managing enormous amounts of local data has enabled us to bring a category-leading product and API to market very quickly,”<br /><br /><br />About The Dealmap<br /><br />The Dealmap (<a href="http://www.thedealmap.com/">www.thedealmap.com</a>) is the most comprehensive source for savvy consumers to find and share the hottest local deals, all in one place. The Dealmap aggregates the largest number of local deals on the Web from the largest number of sources, and makes previously hard-to-find deals available to consumers when and where they want them through its website and social applications, and its daily email. The site showcases discounts of up to 90% off multiple business categories, including restaurants, attractions, hotels, spas, salons, entertainment, shops and more. Using Center’d SentimentAnalysis™, The Dealmap also integrates detailed insights about local businesses, giving people the information they need to make better local purchasing decisions. Consumers and businesses can submit offers directly to the The Dealmap website.<br /><br />The Dealmap is owned and operated by Center’d Corporation, a local search and discovery company that organizes and distributes unique content based on its SentimentAnalysis technology.

With a Candy holiday around the corner, I hope you take my word for it, and buy some of what I am about to write about.<a href="http://www.derrychurchartisanchocolates.com/"><span style="font-size:180%;color:#993300;"> Derry Church Artisan Chocolates</span></a>. To start off I looked at the variety that was displayed in front of me. My mouth was watering at the look of them; I knew I was in for a treat. The first one I chose was called "Paris" French strawberry jam with white chocolate buttercream ganache piped inside a bittersweet mold of perfection. This combination was amazing I felt like I was sitting outside a French cafe. 5stars<br /><br />My second choice... Imagine sitting in Jamaica sipping on a homemade Pina Colada..."Montego Bay" was just that. Coconut, dark rum and raisin paste in a milk chocolate ganache, piped into a small rosette and caressed by bittersweet chocolate DELISH! 5 stars<br /><br />3rd much better then Starbucks... "Rome" The vision of Italy pranced in my head as I slowing divulged this strong Cappuccino and milk chocolate ganache piped into milk chocolate cup mold, and topped with a light creamy white chocolate mousse, dusted with cocoa. This my friend is a must... I am craving more... I would give up "you know what"? If I could sit in bed and eat a box of these.. It would be temporary of course LOL... I know my husband will read this later "wink"... 5 plus stars<br /><br />O.K, I am all about adding a little spice to my life, Alright a lot of spice. This last masterpiece I will write about was one of my fav's, "Tangier" Organic African honey and tangerine juice reduction with toasted ground cumin seed & cayenne pepper in a bittersweet chocolate ganache, piped into bittersweet chocolate mold.5 stars<br /><br /><br />So I hope your mouths are watering and you want to go and check out<a href="http://www.derrychurchartisanchocolates.com/"><span style="font-size:180%;color:#993300;"> Derry Church Artisan Chocolates</span></a>..

Recipes and Entire BakeSpace Community Available via One Simple Click--<br /><br /><br /><br />Boston, Mass – February 22, 2010 – Things are heating up in the kitchen with the introduction of a new recipe channel, launched today by litl (<a href="http://www.litl.com/">litl.com</a>) in partnership with BakeSpace (<a href="http://www.bakespace.com/">bakespace.com</a>). The channel provides quick and easy access to more than 50,000 recipes for users of the litl webbook, an Internet computer for the home. It is available now at no cost to litl webbook users.<br /><br /><br /><br />“The litl webbook’s versatility makes it perfect for the kitchen. While it can go online and be used like a conventional laptop, the 12-inch screen and keyboard can also flip around the hinge so the litl stands upright like an easel. This new “easel” mode makes photos, news, music, weather, video, Facebook updates, and now tens of thousands of recipes fun and easy to enjoy—even from across a kitchen,” said litl’s founder and CEO John Chuang. “We’re excited to partner with BakeSpace to change the way families enjoy the Internet from their kitchens.”<br /><br /><br /><br />BakeSpace, a 2009 Webby Award nominee for Best Social Network, is a free online community where members post, search and swap recipes, share cooking tips, and socialize with other food enthusiasts. The site’s membership ranges from teenagers just starting to explore the culinary lifestyle to grandparents who want to catalog and preserve their treasured family recipes.<br /><br /><br /><br />Babette Pepaj, BakeSpace’s founder and CEO, said, “We love the concept behind the litl webbook because it’s all about making it fun and easy to enjoy the web. With the addition of the new BakeSpace channel, the litl is now also a great tool for cooking enthusiasts. If you enjoy spending time in the kitchen, the litl webbook could be your ideal computer.”<br /><br /><br /><br />The litl webbook’s channels transform online content to make it more useful and entertaining. These channels complement a familiar web browser experience for active, “lean forward” use with an all-new “lean back” mode for passive web enjoyment—from across a kitchen or on a large-screen television, for instance. Users can easily create channels for many popular websites or select from a set of channels custom-designed by litl, including Facebook, The Weather Channel, Flickr, Shutterfly, and now, BakeSpace.<br /><br /><br /><br />Technical information for independent developers, potential partners, and others interested in developing their own custom channels will be announced shortly.<br /><br /><br /><br />About litl<br /><br />Based in Boston, litl is a new kind of computer company. The company was founded to make the web more enjoyable and entertaining for everyday consumers. Small and personal by design, we invite you to meet us and learn more at <a href="http://www.litl.com/">litl.com</a>.<br /><br /><br /><br />About BakeSpace<br /><br />BakeSpace is a grassroots online community where members post, search and swap recipes, create their own “online kitchen,” share cooking tips, raid the “virtual pantry” (forums), upload cooking videos, and interact with other food enthusiasts from around the world. Membership on the site is free.

Monounsaturated fats — such as olive, canola or peanut oils — promote heart health, too.<br />Avoid unhealthy ingredients, too, such as hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oil.<br />Keep in mind that ingredients are listed in descending order by weight. The main (heaviest) ingredient is listed first, followed by other ingredients used in lesser amounts.<br /><br />Consider carbs in context<br />If your meal plan is based on carbohydrate counting, food labels become an essential tool for meal planning.<br /><br />Don't miss out on high-fiber foods. Pay special attention to high-fiber foods. Although the grams of sugar and fiber are counted as part of the grams of total carbohydrate, the count can sometimes be misleading. If a food has 5 grams or more fiber in a serving, the American Diabetes Association recommends subtracting the fiber grams from the total grams of carbohydrate for a more accurate estimate of the product's carbohydrate content.<br /></div></strong><br /><div align="left"><strong>Look at total carbohydrate, not just sugar. Evaluate the grams of total carbohydrate — which includes sugar, complex carbohydrate and fiber — rather than only the grams of sugar. If you zero in on sugar content, you could miss out on nutritious foods naturally high in sugar, such as fruit and milk. And you might overdo foods with no natural or added sugar but plenty of carbohydrate, such as certain cereals and grains.<br /></div></strong><br /><div align="left"><strong><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></strong></div><br /><div align="left"><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Do the math</span><br /></div></strong><br /><div align="left"><strong>Pay attention to serving sizes.

The new site makes it easier to find styles, simplify the size and color choices, and radiates the Yummie Tummie brand vibe - Sexy, Sophisticated and Stylish!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Struggling the fight off the winter blues and extra holiday pounds??<br /><br /><br /><br />Celebrity Stylist and Yummie Tummie Creator, Heather Thomson, offers must-have slimming secrets to look great in 2010!<br /><br /><br /><br />Go long for versatility and style.<br /><br />With cold winter days here, we can all benefit from a few extra inches of fabric. The look is chic, flattering, and keeps you warm. The long Yummie Tummie tank is perfect for adding a new dimension to your wardrobe without adding unwanted bulk. Let your favorite long Yummie Tummie tank peek out from under a fitted shirt or funky fur vest paired with skinny jeans for sleek, long lines that will have you looking slim, confident and cozy all winter long.<br /><br /><br /><br />Sky high heels lengthen and slim.<br /><br />One of my favorite tricks for hiding unwanted pounds is throwing on a pair of high heels. They are great for lengthening your silhouette and perfecting your posture so you stand up straighter and taller. Try a pair of over-the-knee boots or classic pumps for a slimming update to any outfit. And while designer styles are delicious, you don’t need to break the bank for a new pair of shoes. Check-out brands like Steven Madden or Aldo for the season’s hottest trends at affordable prices.<br /><br /><br /><br />Feminine and flirty add lux to your look.<br /><br />Embrace being a lady with feminine ruffles and bows this season. You will be surprised at what a little girly glamour can do for your confidence. Try a 40’s inspired suit with a belted jacket and pencil skirt in wonderful wools and tweeds. Pair it with a darling ruffled blouse which will take you through the season and even into spring. My must have tip for pulling off this look with confidence- the Yummie Tummie Briefie which slims your belly and gives you an hour-glass shape to show off your ladylike style.<br /><br /><br /><br />Wrap it up for effortless style.<br /><br />Classy wrap coats and dresses are perfect for carving your waist for an effortlessly sexy style. Invest in this look and you are sure to wear it to death. No need to worry about a few extra lumps and bumps leftover from the holiday season either. The Yummie Tummie Peek-A-Boo Cami will perfectly smooth away unsightly belly bulge while highlighting your best assets.<br /><br /><br /><br />Statement jewelry for instant glam.<br /><br />Chunky necklaces, stacked bracelets and embellished rings are a must-have for adding a little flare to your style this season. Layered jewelry is the perfect accent to everything from pencil skirts to boyfriend jeans. An added bonus, it will draw the attention away from trouble spots leftover from the holiday party season. Check-out trendy boutiques for unique pieces and the best bargains.<br /><br /><br /><br />Give your wardrobe an affordable facelift.<br /><br />You don’t need to spend a ton of money for an updated look in the New Year. My approach to fashion is to take the latest trends and mix a little bit new with a little of what you’ve already got. Simply invest in a great, versatile, go-to piece for the season such as a strong shoulder boyfriend blazer. Wear it over a girly top and skirt, sexy dress or black leggings when heading out on the town. Or throw it over your favorite Yummie Tummie Tank, a tissue soft cotton t-shirt and a pair of skinny jeans for a casual layered look perfect for winter weekends.<br /><br /><br /><br />Skip New Year’s Resolutions, get a Yummie January boost instead.<br /><br />New Year’s resolutions are a lot of pressure, especially when you’re already working as hard as you can. Instead, start the year fresh by giving yourself a break and a boost at the same time: get a Yummie Tummie. Yummie Tummie gives you the freedom to be your best self in everyday outfits, from layering a Long Sleeved Body V under a cardigan, to dressing up jeans for girls-night out with the jeweled neckline Glamour Tank. Whichever fabulous style you choose, it will leave you looking terrific and give you a rush of feel-good energy- just what you need to get moving on a New Year’s project, whether it’s a workout routine or weekly bubble bath.<br /><br /><br /><br />Heather is the go-to expert for celebrities such as Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez and now you too can take advantage of her insider tricks to a slim and stylish new you.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div>Fabuloushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06622925748787335463noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1826749392874811733.post-47224559198238590422010-01-09T05:06:00.000-08:002010-06-22T23:11:11.488-07:00CarrotSticks - Sponsored Post<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><a rel='nofollow' href='http://lx.im/4uku?v=yAD-209CsbM3bvAAC_C13Fgi98uIP_109ZGFJgxLOgVl8nBMQQsUZGVsXMBs5VyNToOG89VxWez5D1oheMnq_Q' style='padding: 0px; text-align: center'><img width='320' src='http://d.likes-media.com/5304c1e2b7c770c614f2ebc31bd65733.320x320' style='border: 0px;'/></a><div><a rel='nofollow' href='http://lx.im/4uku?v=yAD-209CsbM3bvAAC_C13Fgi98uIP_109ZGFJgxLOgVl8nBMQQsUZGVsXMBs5VyNToOG89VxWez5D1oheMnq_Q' style='text-decoration: none; font-size:medium'>CarrotSticks</a> - <span style='color: #006600'>www.carrotsticks.com</span></div><div>LOve.LOve this I have 3 kids 10,9 and 5 this is a great tool. <br/></div><br/><div style='padding:4px; float: right; background-color: black; color: white; font-size:small'><style type='text/css'> a:visited._splink {text-decoration: none; color: white;}}</style><a href='http://mylikes.com/thefabulousfinds' style='font-size: small; color:white; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal' class='_splink'><div style='float:left;padding-right:40px'><i>sponsored like</i><img src='http://lx.im/_t.gif?v=yAD-209CsbM3bvAAC_C13Fgi98uIP_109ZGFJgxLOgVl8nBMQQsUZGVsXMBs5VyNToOG89VxWez5D1oheMnq_Q' style='border: 0px'/></div><div style='float:right; padding-right:3px;'>Heather Polke's profile on MyLikes</div></a></div></div>Fabuloushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06622925748787335463noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1826749392874811733.post-14514101337160708922010-01-05T14:51:00.000-08:002010-06-22T23:11:11.550-07:00A new way to carry your lunch!<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hifWlHtuFhY/S0PELWRlV3I/AAAAAAAAAxg/-Ht2ZtNsK44/s1600-h/guava_pink_swirl_lg.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 384px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 370px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423394075521144690" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hifWlHtuFhY/S0PELWRlV3I/AAAAAAAAAxg/-Ht2ZtNsK44/s400/guava_pink_swirl_lg.jpg" /></a><br /><div>Handmade ECOlunchbags with napkins and stainless steel food containers!<a href="http://www.ecolunchboxes.com/"><span style="color:#009900;"> ECOlunchboxes.com</span> </a>is a new company created by a mom named Sandra Ann Harris in the San Francisco Bay Area.

I brought the box inside opened it to find this beautifully packaged box of chocolates. I was phyced to open the box up and check out the contents. I was a little nervous though. The packaging was so crisp and pretty that I took my time. I knew that this company took the time to plan out this beautiful bundle that the contents were going to be just as good if not better.</span></div><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#663300;"></span></div><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#663300;">I opened the brown papered flap to unveil the most beautiful chocolates. They looked painted. I first took a look at the tasting guide before digging right in. Yes, a Taste guide. My first choice the Duo Cafe.. Let me take the time to describe this amazing palette teaser. Very bold & dynamic. Dark chocolate paired with the flavor and aroma of freshly brewed coffee. Then Earl Grey Delicately steeped Organic black tea infused with pure bergamot extract. Oh My! is all I can say, a pleasure for my taste buds. The Banana Rum to die for delish. Fresh banana scented with Organic cinnamon & golden,dark rum. </span></div><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#663300;"></span></div><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#663300;">I am telling you.

I am always on the go between soccer practices and games.. I have three kids and all of them play soccer. I am always looking for portable healthy snacks. So I stumbled upon this company <a href="http://buddyfruits.com/"><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;">Buddy Fruits</span></a>..I was happy to see an all natural fruit line that is portable and comes in resealable drink pouches.. I know what your thinking. Fruit that you drink? Yes. I felt the same way. So I contacted the company for a sample.. They sent me every flavor. Not only did I try it but my kids and husband as well. We loved it. My oldest daughter is 10 and type 1 diabetic. This is a great way for her to get a little boost when she's running around on the soccer Field. Her blood sugar always drops so it's a great way to boost her up naturally rather than use a glucose tablet.</div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>This company is owned by a french family who moved to the United States because they had a passion for creating a product that is portable, Healthy and tastes really Yummy. They have created an assortment of flavors: Apple,Strawberry,Cinnamon,Banana,Multi Fruit..Remember to look beyond the fact your apple is in a pouch.. Think about not having to wash it,take the skin off,having sticky hands to wash or even finding somewhere to throw out the core.. The best part. If you don't finish it. Screw the top back on and stick it in the fridge or cooler.. You can't do that with a 1/2 eaten apple now can you? Try it for yourself.. <a href="http://buddyfruits.com/"><span style="font-size:180%;">Buddy Fruits</span></a> is the way to have your fruit and drink it too..</div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div><span style="font-size:180%;color:#009900;">GIVEAWAY:</span></div><br /><br /><div><span style="font-size:180%;color:#009900;"></span></div><br /><br /><div><span style="font-size:180%;color:#009900;"></span></div><br /><br /><div><span style="font-size:180%;color:#009900;">This is a very generous giveaway.

If you haven't been I strongly recommend. Here are all my Fabulous Finds from the city. New Orleans Jazz Fest. A Mecca for Food,Music,Laughter and true down to earth people from all walks of life. Festival is held on a horse track.The Festival celebrates the indigenous music and culture of New Orleans and Louisiana, so the music encompasses every style associated with the city and the state: blues, R&B, gospel, Cajun, zydeco, Afro-Caribbean, folk, Latin, rock, rap, country, bluegrass and everything in between. And of course there is lots of jazz, both contemporary and traditional. Also the line up will consist of other artists. This year they had Dave Mathews,James Taylor,Earth Wind and Fire and Etta James to name a few.<br />The Food OH MY! Crawfish Monica,softshell crab Poboy,Crawfish Bread, Shrimp Bread,Sausage & Jalapeño Bread,Alligator Pie, Crabmeat Stuffed Shrimp, *Fried Green Tomatoes ,Pheasant, Quail & Andouille Gumbo, Crab & Craw fish Stuffed Mushrooms, Crawfish Enchilada The list goes on and on. Drinks from alcohol to Non-alcohol.<br /><br />After the show everyone manly locals go to LIUZZA'S best place for a bloody marry topped with spicy green beans.. Plus they have a mini block party and always a local band playing outside.. This is the best way to end the day after the sun has fallen and you just want a nice cold cocktail. Some locals are out selling their creations.. address: 3636 Bienville St. two blocks from the fair grounds.<br /><br />Shopping.. The artists at the show sell amazing things. from handbags to sculptures and of course Jewelry. They come from all over. I am a huge Fleur DE Li's wearer so I try and find pieces with that design..
