Most of TopBargains traffic is now coming from Mobile or Tablet Devices
We all thought mobile usage was increasing but didn't expect mobile/tablet traffic to exceed Desktop traffic this soon.
Based on last 30 days statistics of TopBargains traffic, people using mobiles & tablets to access TopBargains are now 56% of the total traffic. This recent shift has also changed the split amongst popular browsers with Chrome and Safari becoming the browsers of choice and Internet Explorer almost loosing half of its share in last couple of years.
Interesting times ahead !

Well done Topbaragins.
One thing. I tried making a comment through mobile on Costco deal but comment section did not appear from mobile.

Yep - although at the moment I'm writing using my laptop, most frequently I'm using the mobile (Android/Chrome) or iPad (IOS/Safari) as they are most convenient for me as a parent.... I usually use the laptop for work so don't get onto sites like this with it [although tonight is different as I'm in a hotel room interstate for business, so my wife is dealing with my angels alone... the poor thing!]

Yea, another mobile user here. My home laptop broke a few days ago and I am limited to using Topbargains mobile only which is all good except its a lot harder to add deals via mobile.
Does anyone know any good laptop deals these days btw?

If you want to try Apple, then best you will generally do is 10% off and *perhaps* a discount on some software. As for anything else - basically work out what sort of performance you require (size, weight, speed, etc) and how long you expect to keep it (if only a couple of years, then build quality may not be so important) and then you can narrow things down. I personally like a lot of the Lenovo laptops for a blend of value/build quality but all laptops are pretty much a commodity item now so deals are always out there.

I mostly browse on my mobile device outside of work hours. I haven't added any deals via mobile yet, it's just too difficult to upload a picture etc.

That's a good idea to look into. It would be so much useful if users could add deals on the go. May be an app to allow taking pictures from in-store sales and then adding them to the website using the app.

That's a good idea. Another one is to possibly facilitate using the store logo which is already on the server, so the person doesn't have to save and upload or copy/paste an image every time. From the desktop this is easy, but on my phone it's too fiddly/time consuming.
