Introduction

My name is Beth and I'm a Senior Economics major at Cornell University.

Topics of Interest

I would like to improve upon the current College Acb page and add more to the History section and the Controversy that ultimately led to the site being shut down.

I would also be interested in researching some increasingly popular internet start-ups that haven't yet been created or need improvement such as BirchBox or Pinterest.

One Deal a Day

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_deal_a_day

I would like to expand on this article with a variety of new sections. This genre of websites is gaining importance in the online retail community and I think it's important that's a more extensive resource for the term. Terms such as "Groupon" and "LivingSocial" have very expansive articles and I am surprised by how little is written about this "Deal of the Day" genre. Foremost, I would like to focus on the History section adding a timeline of when specific sites came about and noting trends of around what time they all started.

Other sections I believe would be relevant are:

  • Genres (i.e. clothing, services, furniture, etc.)
  • Structure of Sites/Process (do they tailor deals to individual preferences, is there a minimum number of users that have to purchase to redeem the deal)
  • Demographics (age/gender/geographic location of users), Financial Aspect (current growth in stock market, recent IPO's etc.)
  • Spotlight of the most successful Deal of the Day websites with their own section on the definition page (Groupon, LivingSocial, etc.)

There has been a lot of coverage on the topic and I do not foresee having a problem finding references.

Articles I will be Observing
