Abstract: Architectures and techniques are described related to identifying merchants associated with information obtained from a number of sources and storing portions of the information in data elements related to the merchants. The information may be provided in a structured format that enables the service provider to associate certain information with a particular merchant or in an unstructured format. The service provider may analyze the information received from the sources to determine whether the information includes any merchant identifying information. When the service provider identifies a merchant based on the merchant identifying information, the service provider may extract additional portions of the information received (e.g. merchant reviews, merchant attributes, etc.) and store those additional portions of information in the data element of the merchant.

Abstract: Architectures and techniques are described to provide a number of options to exchange information related to deals via a plurality of channels. Each of the communication channels may be utilized to exchange communications about different aspects of acquiring and redeeming deals. The channel options may be related to categories of computing devices, operating systems executed by computing devices, one or more sites, various forms of communication, client device applications, etc. A service provider that offers deals on behalf of merchants may determine one or more options for each communication channel with respect to merchants offering deals and with respect individuals that may participate in deals offered by the service provider. After determining the channel options for a deal offered by a particular merchant and for individuals designated to receive information about the deal, communications with respect to the deal may be exchanged over the channels via certain channel options.

Abstract: Techniques described herein provide one or more tools to operators of one or more sites (e.g., websites) to facilitate increased performance of the respective sites. More specifically, these tools may provide feedback to the operators that allows the operators to make informed decisions regarding the use of features and content on their respective sites, which in turn may decrease latency experienced by the users of these sites.

Abstract: Methods are provided that comprise several tools that allow operators of sites (e.g. websites) to improve their respective site performance. More specifically, the methods provide operators with feedback tools related to site performance. The feedback tools allow operators to make informed decisions regarding the use of features and content on their respective sites. Additionally, tools are provided that support rich functionality, which operators may incorporate into their respective sites. The combination of rich functionality and feedback tools may result in high-performance sites that allow operators to implement rich functionality without having users experience unwanted latency.
