Probably (Especially If You Are A Business)
Nov 05, 7:53PM
What is OffersBy.me? It's a new website/app offering discounts for goods and services.

OffersBy.me lets customers offer up how much they are willing to spend for a particular good or service and they are then connected with businesses and coupons that match their spending intent. That's a pretty good idea.Verizon To Axe Its Mobile App Store, Aims To Remove It From All Devices By March 2013

Nov 05, 7:02PM
