Wish you had a personal assistant to scour the web every day and pull in news, daily deals, and updates related only to the things you love in your life? You can hire one; or, if you’re a Springpad user, you can now just open your app.
Boston’s Springpad, ‘the smart note app,’ helps you stay organized and remember the things you like and which are important to you – like that bottle of wine you tried at dinner last night or the video game your kid has been raving about. Earlier this year in February the app passed the 1 million downloads mark, and more recently hit 1.5 million.
And today the company announced passing a partner milestone of 100 content providers, including well known brands like Groupon, Fandango, OpenTable, Facebook and Shopping.com. These partnerships now enable Springpad to syndicate news, deals, availability and other updates related to any product, movie, recipe, music, or otherwise saved in your Springpad app.
“Our goal is to help our rapidly growing base of 1.5 million Springpad users save time and money when they’re ready to act on the more than 18 million saved items that are important to them,” said Jeff Janer, CEO of Springpad. “By integrating with more than 100 partners, we’re helping our users by delivering useful news and relevant offers such as price drops on the product they’ve been eyeing, when the movie they’ve been wanting to see is available on Netflix or when a Groupon deal is available for a restaurant they wanted to try.”
Shopping.com and its 8,000 merchants across the globe is the latest partner Springpad has added to its roster. Deals and product information will be offered initially within the Springpad app, and moving forward the company says it plans to also deliver user reviews and alerts for things like price cuts related to the products a user has previously saved on Springpad.
Groupon is another recent partner. Any Groupons related to restaurants, venues, products or services a user has saved within Springpad will be delivered, automatically sifting through irrelevant Groupons for you.
Other Springpad content partners span several categories and include:
- Entertainment – Fandango, Songkick, iTunes, Netflix
- Dining – OpenTable, Wine.com, Menupages, Coupons.com
- Social networking – Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare
- Technology – CNET, GDGT, Engadget
- Daily deals – Groupon, Living Social
