Re:Ask HN: where those deal sites find those information? on Monday January 25, 2010 @10:47AM (#1075292)
An automated way to do this might not work well. The editors must check and filter out the good deals. There are tons of fake/spam deals online. How to find the real good quality deals? Community is a good way but it takes long time to build a community. Digg way is also a community way.

I'm trying to leverage algorithm to filter out deals.

just tried. Didn't find it. thanks though.The link is useful for the future.

I have looked into this opportunity two years ago. here are my research: 1) USA carriers like Verizon offers a service charging $5 a month to backup contact 2) Carriers in China offers for free. But you have to input them first. But you can query your contact book using SMS. I assume their online contact book sync with your Outlook 3) In 3G, there is a mobile contact book XML standard, using which you can sync with any online contact book supporting that standard on 3G network. There are plenty of startups doing that already since it's so simple to implement.
