Many of you have asked us how to send feedback. Sending an email to leave feedback is 1.0 style! We use GetSatisfaction, a revolutionary new way to provide feedback, get answers and solutions all in an open forum.

You can ask a question, share an idea on how to improve Viddu, report a problem and help us make Viddu better and start discussions related to Viddu or shopping!

We believe in coupons, discounts, revenue sharing, cash-backs, giveaways and everything else that puts money back into users pocket. Why because we know that users are as valuable or more valuable than the people who run a business, online or B&M and giving back is a huge way to say thanks! With this spirit we are launching a revenue sharing program. We will be launching this soon, stay tuned for seeing how you can share your product recommendations and get cash! 

Some ground rules:

• Do not create multiple accounts, this will reduce the quality of the recommendations and eventually reduce the attractiveness to our users which will result in less purchases and less revenue, what that means is you will have less to earn. Also building a reputation by recommending the products you like will make you more valuable for Viddu community and the users who are most valuable to the community will be most rewarded.
• We expect our users to recommend a product either because they own the product and they love it or they have used the product and they know its the right one or have done researching reviews, deals, blogs etc and just know thats the one to buy.
• If we see any abnormal behavior like a user is trying to recommend lot of products in a sub-category, we might chose to ban the account. Also note that we will be publicizing the alias names for people who have recommended a product. Honestly recommending the products will help build trust for you and for us.
• This promotion may be stopped at any time, without prior notice or without any reason.
• This promotion is not for third party beneficiaries and is solely for you as an individual.

Introducing Name Your Price on Electronics! The products you want to buy at the price you want to pay! Lot of travel websites provide this feature now you can do this for Electronics! We are launching this feature with few selected products in the Bluetooth headsets category, check them out at: http://www.viddu.com/NameYourPrice

Note that there is no obligation to buy a a product what so ever, even if we find an item to sell at the price you requested, you do not have to buy if you don’t want to. If you are worried about security you would be pleased to hear that we use secure google checkout to process orders.

Here is what you have to do to participate in this:

1. Sign up/Sign in to http://www.viddu.com

2. Select a product at http://www.viddu.com/NameYourPrice

3. In the compare prices section, enter and submit the value for ‘Name Your Price’

4. Thats it, then we will work with the merchants to see if we can find an offer at that price or we will see if we can discount and sell it to you at the requested price. Note that there is no guarantee that we will be able to get you that price but rest assured we will try our best to get you at the requested price

5. If we do find a matching offer, we will contact you via email, please ensure the email address in Viddu profile is current and accurate as we will send an email to that email address.

6. If we are selling we will send a google checkout request via email to start the order processing. Note that there is no obligation to buy even if we find a matching offer.

Some rules of thumb:

1. If the requested price is between 75% to 95% of the current lowest price on that product, there is a better chance that you will be able to find an offer at the requested price

2. If the requested price is below 50% of the current lowest price, the chances are pretty low.
