Reporter Jenny 8 Lee wrote about the awesome deal-finding service Yipit in the New York Times yesterday, and we at Sunshine couldn’t be more proud. The Yipit folks call Sunshine Tribeca their home, and we’re working on a cool Yipit launch video as you read this.Yipit is really a service for anyone who has ever wished that coupons, hot deals and sample sales came tailored and targeted to where they shop, work and play. It’s the social money-saver for people who like to save as hard as they play.Right now, the best way to connect with all the cool, personalized deals Yipit has to offer is via location-based social network Foursquare.Follow Yipit on twitter.
