The site, which went live in March, has already signed up more than 80,000 people. But Populardemand also allows consumers to register items they are interested in. Populardemand will then aggregate the consumer interest and approach manufacturers and retailers with the data. Retailers then can offer special deals to consumers, who are notified by email about bargains. For full story, see http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/news/0,4586,2225171,00.html
