Yup, i think the associated press ran something on it. They were in my newspaper, but another site was featured who also runs black friday ads.

Not yet. Last year Sears and Home Depots attorneys contacted us, we complied with their requests.

Brad Olson, the founder of Gottadeal.com, a Web site that markets itself as the "official Black Friday deals site," told CNN/Money that he obtained Wal-Mart's Black Friday sales ad last week from "someone close to the production process for the ads."

Dammit, can I pay Rossman to keep things quiet?

The fewer people that know about the great deals, the easier it is for me to take advantage of 'em!

Fellow AT'er and part owner of GottaDeal.com

He hand coded the GottaDeal.com and Black Friday sites just using MySQL and PHP. Uber 1337 Hot Dealer (after Jokersmoker of course).

Brad's a nice person, very kind and is very hard working, doesn't seem like he's ever satisfied and always strives for something even greater :)
