Two New Sites for Bargain Hunters

A post at ShoeMoney led me to a new "deal site" called Dealighted. Dealighted pulls all the deals from Fatwallet, Slickdeals, Anandtech , and GottaDeal, and puts them all together on one site.

The deals are submitted by real people, and you can choose to see the most popular, or all the deals that have been submitted. And there's also a price comparison function that's very handy. But I have to say that I agree with Jeremy's criticism; it would be nice if users could vote on the deals, or set preferences to filter out the deals they see (I don't want or need to see a "deal" for a free sample of the latest tampon technology, especially if they'll only ship to a US mailing address).

And the other new site I discovered (thanks to ProBargainHunter) is CouponLooker, a search engine for coupon or promo codes. CouponLooker collects coupon code info from a bunch of different coupon sites and lets you find them easily through their search engine.

These sorts of aggregator sites could come in real handy for those of us who like a bit of online bargain hunting, since it could mean we need to visit a smaller number of sites to get the same information.

Get Paid for Your Art

Revenue sharing has come to the world of computer graphics. CGShare is offering to pay professional and amateur artists who join its community and upload their images, animations, or 3D models.

Another excellent reason for joining the CGShare community is that, even if you aren't an artist, is that everything uploaded by those with the talent is free.


If you're like me, you're always on the lookout for collections of free images for your websites, so if this community grows, it could become an excellent resource. And possibly a nice source of additional income for the artists who share their creations .

Free Game


There are a lot of free games available, and I like to keep a collection of links handy. You never know when you're going to need to kill 15 minutes.

Here's a submarine shoot-em-up game I found today called Alpha Blue. Score: 6.5/10

Another site with a bunch of games is FreeOnlineGames.

Cool Game: Alien Hominid


This doesn't have anything to do with making money online (unless maybe you're an aspiring game developer), but if you spend as much time in front of your computer as I do, a little diversion can come in handy sometimes.

A post at MetaFilter led me to the Newgrounds flash gaming website to play a free game called Alien Hominid. This game's been around for a while, but an all-new console version has just been released for PlayStation2 and GameCube. The Flash version is hard, but a lot of fun, and if you decide you want to buy the console version, you can order them online at the Alien Hominid website.

Play the free Flash version of Alien Hominid.

Oh yeah, there are a lot of other cool games at Newgrounds, but a lot of them aren't really for little kids -- some are pretty violent, and others have nudity.
