Black Friday deals fever seems to be starting earlier and earlier every year. Not only that, even the sales seem to be starting earlier every Black Friday, like last year's BestBuy opening at 5 am. And lastly, people seem to be getting to the stores earlier and earlier too: At 12 pm last year when I and my friends reached the mall, the BestBuy line was already over 100 people deep. That's crazy. But we managed to start a line at Staples and get very similar deals there with half the wait.
Anyway, this year am going one step further, launching my own website, BlackFriday-Deals.com to keep an eye on deals, ads, ad scans and more in anticipation of Black Friday. Keep checking that site regularly as I update the content and add deals upon deals upon more deals to it. Good Black Fridaying!

series of online audits, conducted by the Army, suggests that official Defense Department websites post far more potentially-harmful than blogs do.
