"Shop WIth Nico" will be twitter-only.. for now

11:18 AM / Posted by Nico Atienza / comments (0)

Hi Friends,

I love doing this but it hit me that I don't have the time to devote to blogging about deals as I though I did when I jump started this website a month or so ago. I've got a day job and welcomed a PS3 into my life, which has got most of my time devoted to them.
Don't get me wrong, I love letting people know about great deals.

With that said, I'm going to be "tweeting" deals from @shopwithnico from now on, or at least for the near future. If you didn't get what I just said, you need to get with the program!

Anyways, go ahead and follow @shopwithnico or just visit the page to see the deals!
