Online auction site DealMania announced it has launched a new community section. The new area offers social networking and allows users to invite new members. It also offers members the ability to create a blog, join groups, and discuss topics in online forums. Users can also create classified ads and post events on the community calendar.
Social networking has become popular in recent years, and DealMania sees it as an opportunity to bring auction buyers and sellers together. "By allowing users to invite their friends to join the site, we are building a base of users who can then shop for items for sale in our auction area, " said Michael Atchie, DealMania CEO.
DealMania launched online auctions in June 2005 to compete directly with eBay.
