Social Networking: The Next Big Thing?

I came across a new social site couple of days ago. This happened purely by accident – I was trying to book a cafe shop or a bar for a company’s lunch out and was searching for some cheap bargains for a group booking.

The Google search has led me to MyZerr.com. The first thought that I had was “Oooh, another site of Facebook type”. But by looking a bit closer I saw that the site has a twist:

Apart from being a social networking online community, MyZerr.com also allows you to search for coupons and bargains from local businesses, communities & online stores worldwide (This is why I ended up on MyZerr.com as I was searching for bowling bargains).

I think the idea is very simple, yet brilliant – help businesses to offer bargains and discounts to people across the world through social networking. At the end of the day, the one who is benefiting here is the end user, the consumer. Simply put – very cool.
