Schemer Adds Google Offers To Your To-Do List

  • Google Schemer, Google’s most recent answer to Foursquare, is now being used to bring you Google Offers. Who would have thought?

    “We have been pilot-testing this Google Offers integration for the past few weeks and have received wonderful feedback from our users (thanks!). We’re now excited to open it up to more users,” writes Schemer Front-end Engineer Huy Nguyen on the Google Commerce blog.

    It should be noted that Schemer is more than just a Foursquare clone, and is more about “to do lists,” which is what makes the Offers integration interesting. As my colleague Shaylin Clark recently put it, “Basically if you take social networking, check-in services like Foursquare or GetGlue, and a giant to-do list for your life and shake them all up together, you’ve pretty much got Schemer.”

    So Google can serve you offers based on things you want to do.

    “Maybe you’ve always wanted to ‘Go Skydiving’? You might receive an email with a killer deal on a tandem jump from a skydiving company in your area, in which case the time is ripe to jump out of that perfectly good airplane!” says Nguyen. “Maybe you’ve been meaning to check out what the deal is with that mysterious mansion down the street. Schemer will help you quell that curiosity at the most opportune (and money saving!) time with a brief email.”
