In early December we were approached by a startup in Raleigh that wanted to develop daily coupon website on a rapid schedule. We looked at our team’s resources, the short time frame, and decided to give it our best try.
A little over a month later Twongo.com was launched, a strong competitor in the growing group buying world. The Twongo back-end is written in Ruby on Rails, leverages Mad Mimi for all emailing, and is hosted on the Engine Yard Cloud. Not only did we do all the development for Twongo, but we also created two simple screencasts to help people learn about the service. Here’s the first screencast below:

Right now you can find active deals in Raleigh/Durham and Dallas, with plans to move to more cities in the next few months. If there’s not yet a deal in your city, feel free to either sign up for the mailing list, or suggest that your city be added.
