Signpost is a new local deal site that is "community-powered." The site aims to share all of the great deals that already exist around Boston including lunch deals, happy hour specials, free events and tastings. The goal of the site is to compile local folks' favorite deals in Boston in one central place so that people can easily search and browse them. The content is user generated, and people vote on deals that they like so that the most popular deals are easy to find.
The event Tuesday night included a gathering of local bloggers and those simply interested in learning more about Signpost. To be honest, there didn't seem to be much interaction between Signpost and the attendees, but it was a great event with some delicious food, and I love Signpost's mission to let people share their favorite local deals with those in their own community.
At the event, I was also fortunate enough to see some of my favorite local bloggers, including Fiona, Katie, Daisy, and Melissa. I also got to meet some other local favorites such as Tania, Michelle and Jacki.

Would you use a site like Signpost to peruse local deals in Boston? Why or why not?
I think Signpost is a great idea, especially since I love learning about different discounts and deals via social media!
ReplyDeleteNice recap!! So good to see you! Elizabeth was wandering about, I had a chance to catch up with her but maybe she just couldn't get to everyone!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of Signpost and I'm waiting to see it take off!
ReplyDeleteI thought it was weird that Elizabeth didn't make a general announcement to everyone, but she did try to interact with everyone which was good! Definitely got my interest piqued about Signpost!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recap Michelle! Sorry there were only 2 employees at the event - and I was working the door, so apologies that we weren't able to interact with you all more. Hope you had a chance to connect with Elizabeth and I'm sure we'll all get together again soon.
