BuyWithMe’s new site “refresh.” its not a overhaul, it’s just the intermediate step between the new platform. Having worked on this for 3+ months, it feels good to finally get something out in the wild. There’s a ton of new stuff we will soon do, but for the time being, baby steps. Hopefully the refresh is the first step.
A more detailed breakdown to come…

So after gallons of coffee and sacrifices to Elsbeth and my time together, BuyWithMe launches in New York. My favoite deal is the SPiN New York ping pong. Half price with a free drink, I’m exhausted, but check it out: http://www.buywithme.com/sheckys/deals/365-spin-nyc-ping-pong

The venture community has started to pile into the space with Accel leading a $30mm round in Groupon and Living Social raising an additional $5mm from VCs. Rue La La was having its leg humped by PE firms as it sold out to GSI for $350mm. Several other Sites are in the process of being funded. […]
The early successes of Gilt and Groupon have spawned loads of copycats and fast followers. The Groupon approach in particular is being ripped-off shamelessly.
Thoughtful post by Todd Dagres on private sale sites. My work at CroudSprout was a little too early to get my leg humped, I guess :-) (via alexbain)
@Bain, Didn’t I do enough leg humping to wag your tail? Maybe if Spark took a risk with CrowdSprout in 2009, they wouldn’t have to now compete with Sequoia, Kleiner Perkin, or Matrix.
