Third-Party
What are your thoughts on this new supposed player?
feels like they have taken elements of price hipster / camelcamelcamel and OzB and they're funding it with a cashrewards style click referral system?

What an ugly website.
You know you're on OzB right?
Yeah, what does that have to do with it?
Ozbargain is pretty good…
I'd rather have a simple UI than fancy animations.
yeah agreed..
Wow you're right. Seems like they don't have a UX person on board.
Been on our radar since January & been playing around their site for ~2 weeks. Interesting implementations especially price updates on merchants that PriceHipster isn't able to (Woolworths & Big W for example). Do note that they've received $30m funding even before the site was launched.
Now you guys have more places to find bargains (and post them on OzBargain for discussions :)
Little Birdie says this brings its valuation to $130 million AUD
I've been watching way too much Shark Tank… My first thought was "but you don't have any sales yet, how can you value your business at such a number?"…
Must have spent $30mill on Ch.9 advertising. Wouldn't shut up about them today.
they've received $30m funding even before the site was launched.
What does that make OzBargain worth?
As we don't do brand partnerships, OzBargain is probably worth much less. At the end of the day deal sites, coupon sites, cashback sites — it's all about bringing sales to brands & merchants.
You would properly get good coin from backers who would monetize OZB well if you every decided to float .
They'd probably want to turn it into the atrocity that is little birdy. Whoever stumped up $30m for that must have been blind.
Well I read your post and did the click bait thing and subsequently joined up. It is a very busy website. Content is good with all the sales
they have about five of my emails because some of their pre opening coupon deals were good :)
Had a look around, couldn't find anything bargain worthy.
same ..

Thanks again
fair enough, feel free to do some ozbargain exclusive deals ;)
that normally goes down wellbecause I think you'd have to be pretty lightning quick to get any of those opening specials :)
When they had that Doordash deal that was actually the same code for everyone instead of a unique code, so Doordash took it down, Little Birdie just told me to sort it out with Doordash. Wasn’t a great first experience

Little Birdie teamShut down for good? I subscribed to their email and seems like they never have any good deals. Not surprised if they shut down for good.
Looks like they have been acquired by Cashrewards. On their website:
We're thrilled to announce that Little Birdie has been acquired by Cashrewards.com.au, Australia's leading cashback platform! While we're taking a short break to spruce up our feathers, we'll be back soon with even more ways to save you money.
I think it looks too busy and soulless on first glance…..
