When I first started BargainChaser.com, I envisioned a little army of bargain hunters roaming around Frederick sharing their discoveries with other like-minded people. Unfortunately, there’s been no easy (or secure) way to make this happen. In the past, when someone wanted to pass along a bargain, they emailed me directly, then I had to find time to write up a new message and post it to the site. There was always a delay between when I received a message and when it was posted to the site–and I didn’t always check my email as often as I should have, so I (and you) missed some deals entirely.

I’m hoping those delays (and misses) are a thing of the past. I’m experimenting with Twitter, a mini-blogging tool that limits message length to 140 characters–including spaces–and I’d like to invite you to post Twitter messages directly to BargainChaser.com.

Twitter messages are posted under the Out and About… section. I update that section while I’m away from my computer, just by sending an email from my cell phone.

If you’d like to share bargains that you’ve discovered, now you can. Just email me, and I’ll send you the required email address.

The only catch is that your messages must be 140 characters long or less.
