Indian online shopping deal overload - Online shopping community, need of the hour

Jan. 16, 2011 - PRLog -- If you love online shopping in india, you would have most likely come across flipkart, futurebazaar, rediff shopping, ebay, infibeam and indiatimes shopping. But these are only few and are traditional online retailers.

In the last few months a new breed of shopping sites are mushrooming across the net. These are group buying sites providing huge discounts specially on services in your city, such as snapdeal, dealsandyou, mydala, koovs and with the acquisition of sosasta, the biggest of them all 'groupon' has also entered . But these are not all, everyday (literally!) At least one more name is added to the list and this does not include the new traditional online retailers. Apart from these two segments there is another segment of daydeal sites such as lootmore, bindaasbargain to name some of them.

This has resulted in shoppers getting best local deal on restarurants and spas, also best online deals on electronics, books, travel. But it has also resulted in information overload, shoppers receive 4 - 5 mails a day, and they still might miss out on the best deal in town as they don't have the time or patience of visiting each deal sites individually everyday

This is where community shopping portal like http://www.desidime.com play an important role, they provide platform for shoppers to view deals at one place or in a single email. They allow users to share the best online deals available on the net with other shoppers. Shoppers can not only view all the deals at one location but can also rate these deals. Thus helping fellow shoppers in making the best decision

It doesn't end there, http://www.desidime.com also allow deal hunters to earn dimes which can be used to redeem gifts such as ipod, PS3 and others. All in all it makes social shopping fun!!!
