The website DealsPl.us (pronounced as "Deals Plus") is the first and most popular[1] social bookmarking web service for storing, sharing, and discovering web bookmarks related to shopping.[2] It has been referred to as a cross between Digg and Bensbargains.net,[3]. It is often compared to Dealplumber.[4] The site also has an RSS capability, similar to tag subscriptions on del.icio.us.[5]
Dealplus runs a giveaway event every day called the "Hour-a-Day Giveaway" where users have a chance to win a variety of prizes ranging from an Xbox 360 to an iPod Shuffle to Fandango coupons.[6]
Members of the site can submit "deals," and vote up impressive ones. The most popular deals make it onto the front page, similar to the Digg front page and del.icio.us popular pages. An AJAX interface allows users to rate deals and comments in real-time.[3]
The domain name is an example of a domain hack, an unconventional combination of letters to form a common word or phrase. The .us domain hack was popularized by del.icio.us.
