Make wishes come true

Zeezaw Website ReviewWe all know that sites like Amazon have built up strong sales by people creating and sending “wish lists” but these are generally aimed at just listing the product that you would like rather than identifying the price point you want to buy at. A new website called Zeezaw has been developed aimed at helping Amazon customers match their wishes to the price they want to pay.

About The Website
Zeezaw is a unique service that allows users to access friend’s and family’s ‘wish lists’ by simply having a note of their e-mail address. Anyone can make up a ‘wish list’ – this is simply a record of anything they would really like to receive as a gift. All you do is type into Zeezaw how much you ARE prepared to pay and as soon as that item comes within your budget, you are immediately sent an e-mail from the Zeezaw team and then you are then just a couple of clicks away from buying something they really want and you can afford.

What We Think
Having played around with the site a little bit we think the Zeezaw service works pretty well. It lets you know when prices drop and can help you save quite a bit of money when you are shopping on Amazon.

If your are looking for discounts on Amazon shopping we suggest you take a look at Zeezaw for more information.

With the prospect of the recession continuing and unemployment possibly increasing the number of small businesses launching is growing each week with more people wanting control over their lives running their own business.

Find Shopping Deals Online

We all know that walking down the high street you can always find a shop with a sale on or offers in the window but where do you go online?

Over the past few years there has been a growth in shopping discount code websites pointing Internet users towards the “best deals” online with either free delivery or discounts so we thought we’d put together a quick website review of one them, ShoppingVouchers.

About The Site
At first glance you can quickly see what ShoppingVouchers is all about, discount offers and sales that are available online at major retailers. By digging a little deeper into the site we quickly found that they are different from other discount code websites. The site is packed with other information such as two for one deals, money saving guides. They have also added quite a bit of extra functionality that you don’t get from their competitors; this includes the ability to connect with your Facebook profile so that you can share deals with friends and family; the addition of automated alerts that send you the deals you may be interested in based on your browsing habits; and finally a more topical blog with seasonal discounts and offers.

What We Think
ShoppingVouchers is a well laid out site with plenty on it, if you are a big online shopper there are some good discounts to be had and the ability to share deals is very useful. We’ve added the site to our top rated list for August as we think What’s Good On The Web readers will find it very useful.

To find out more about discount codes and offers take a look at ShoppingVouchers.

Advice on Meetings

 Over one third of a business day can be wasted in meetings and with companies looking at improving efficiencies one of the key factors in improving staff productivity could be to plan your meetings more effectively. One site that looks to help managers and businesses improve meeting efficiency is Meetingtalk which we’ve done a quick review of below.

About The Site
Meetingtalk is a practical advice type website with a number of articles on meetings on it from setting the agenda to taking minutes. The articles are pretty clear and give some very useful tips about time management which should help any manager save some time.

What We Think
At the moment the site is very basic with only a few articles on it but they are adding to it regularly and having spoken to the guys behind the site they are hoping to have an “Ask the expert” section soon included which should get some debates going.

Planning to Move Overseas

With jobs hard to find at the moment many people are looking at taking their skills overseas but if you are already settled one of the major challenges can be how to move your home and family. Getting good practical advice and support can be very difficult for the move so one of the leading overseas movers, Crown Relocation, have come up with a website that helps people plan their move called Moveoverseas.

About The Site
Moveoverseas is designed to give people thinking about moving overseas a guide to the process from where you could go, to the likely costs associated with the move. As part of the site they have created an area called My Move which enables you to put together a personal planner for your move to help remember all the things you need to which is very well put together and helps take a great deal of stress away from the process.

What We Think
Although Moveoverseas is mainly aimed at selling the Crown Relocation service the site does have some very useful information and the My Move section is very well thought out. At WhatsGoodOnTheWeb we’d recommend anyone who is thinking of moving overseas to take a look at the website as it’s advice is clear and could give you a very good guide to the process.
