Prepare yourself, there's a lot! Just be careful you don't overdeal it.
Groupon - Still the best. Still the most well presented. And now with the Groupon app, the easiest to use.
Living Social - Almost irrelevant now. Many deals are out of Boston, and they have way to many coupons for Brazillian blowouts (weren't those declared toxic?) and yoga classes.
CoupMe - They often have really amazing massage deals, but the rest of the deals are bunk.
BuyWithMe - Getting better and the cool thing is that their deals often last a week, so you can sit on it and decide if it's really worth it.
DigDeals - Great rotating sale of actual gift certificates that get mailed to you. Not a big selection, but always quality places.
Yelp Deals - Just launched this week. Not sure how frequent they're going to be or how good, but the first deal was $50 for a massage. Not bad.
Bloomspot - A higher end deal site, like stays at a French country inn, or limo rides.
Eversave - Most deals tend to be in the suburbs. Lots of spa deals.
KGB Deals - Questionable name. They had $6 movie tickets on sale, but now it looks like they haven't officially launched in Boston yet.
DealOn - Not launched yet.
Zozi - Local, National and Travel deals for around the world. They mostly sell hotel coupons and deals for activities like kayaking in Baja or photography classes in Boston.
Plum District - Mostly geared towards moms, but recent deals have also included Target gift cards and Bruegger's Bagels.
Tippr - Looks like they just steal deals that others have done.
Homerun - Well designed site. Looks like most of their deals are for small things like a $2 pitcher of sangria at Tasca or a $2 glass of wine at Davide's.
Dealster - Many are outside of Boston, but there's some amazing deals like $30 for 4 oil changes.
DealsforSchools - Some decent deals, like $30 for two facials, hair cut and pedicure. Bonus is that part of the proceeds go to schools!

The link at the bottom of the story to DealGator.com is broken. It should be linked to http://www.dealgator.com
All fixed, Casey! Thanks for the heads up.
