His idea was Yowza!. It's an iPhone and iPod Touch app that uses your location to find deals near you. If you're out shopping, you can find out what stores are offering deals near you, in either a 5, 10 or 15 mile radius. The app also lets you search by city to enable you to plan ahead and still save money."</em></p><p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="600" height="338" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="flashVars" value="spinnerURL=http://player.wizzard.tv/public/skins/gbtv/spinner.swf&amp;dt=0" /><param name="menu" value="false" /><param name="AllowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="src" value="http://player.wizzard.tv/p/k-58e89a8986ca1911/59d82db3cc6e24d57d27d4afe8f5be37.m4v/k-f88b2654db1f8dc9.m4v" /><param name="flashvars" value="spinnerURL=http://player.wizzard.tv/public/skins/gbtv/spinner.swf&amp;dt=0" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="600" height="338" src="http://player.wizzard.tv/p/k-58e89a8986ca1911/59d82db3cc6e24d57d27d4afe8f5be37.m4v/k-f88b2654db1f8dc9.m4v" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" menu="false" flashvars="spinnerURL=http://player.wizzard.tv/public/skins/gbtv/spinner.swf&amp;dt=0"></embed></object></p><p>Neat idea, although I'll admit that the only reason I even posted it was because it was Greg Grunberg's app.&nbsp; I happen to be a big fan of Heroes no matter how much it disappoints me week after week.&nbsp; You can find out more about Yowza at <a href="http://www.getyowza.com" target="_blank">www.getyowza.com</a>.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

I happen to be a big fan of Heroes no matter how much it disappoints me week after week.

I know how you feel :'-(

I think it looks like a pretty nice app actually - assuming of course that they get enough companies using it. It's all about the coupon content...

As for Heroes, yeah, it's definitely not as cool as it was when it first started. The villains arc seems to have been when it really started sucking - though maybe it was the writer's strike. I feel like so many shows lost momentum during that black out period and never regained it properly.
