This week on the Bunker Project we talk about the very cool animated show notes for the Bunker Project which Bob has been producing using a service called “Extra Normal”. Check them out at the top of the show notes here and at www.uncensoredsocialunderground.com. Check out where Bob made them here.

Also, we have a lengthy discussion about Groupon, the Group Buying phenomenon which is bringing thousands of bargain hunters to a business near you. Maybe your business? Are Groupon and other Groupon clone sites like Living Social good for your business? That is exactly what we talk about in this segment.
