To me, Microsoft totally missed the boat on the social networking opportunity that the Jellyfish guys created, somewhat organically. The founders facilitated a lot of it, but the users are a passionate loyal bunch who are now looking to take their attention elsewhere. Such a shame – Microsoft could use help when it comes to relating to the human side of things.

So is it now Live Cashback? I was thinking about buying a domain that jellyfish used to own, i wonder if it is now availalbe. It sounded like a fun site.

i used it to make some money as there was always steep discount on the products. i used to resell the products on ebay..make some bucks.

too bad they are shutting it down..there goes one source of revenue for me. another pink slip.

i know there were quite a few of us, resellers on the smack takign advantage of the discounts.

Hello,

I have been an avid user of SmackShopping and used to wonder why would someone give out so much money.

TechCrunch is wrong in reporting, it is not users who create hot deals. It is simply a reverse auction site, where products are put for auction and price is lowered at a regular interval, until someone buys it. I bought products at 30 to 40% off and sold them on eBay to pocket some bucks.

Sad to see my source of revenue disappear.

It was an interesting site, but man the deadpool database seems to be growing up!

That service was completely co-opted by resellers well before Microsoft bought it, so I don’t think it was that big of a loss really.

This makes me sad, and not just because I won 800 dollars (USD) on that site. Then I bought an iphone.

I wonder if Microsoft will ever learn their lesson regarding content sites?
