Mystery Bundle gives 70% Off Popular Apps


... thirty Mac developers participate

Mystery BundleThe day starts with a mystery... or a Myztery to be precise. Until midnight (PST), MacZOT is offering visitors its best deal yet with award winning and critically acclaimed applications for the low price of $14.97 „ a 72% savings! The six applications in today's MyzteryZOT will remain under wraps until the day ends.

MacZOT! launched three weeks ago, with a mission to offer Mac users everywhere a chance to buy the coolest new shareware applications for the lowest prices on the web. Since then, more than thirty developers are queuing up to feature their products as daily Zot deals, and hundreds of happy customers have made the website a roaring success.

Participating developers have found MacZOT to be an extra marketing channel for the competitive Macintosh shareware market. Mac users are giving tremendously positive feedback about receiving unexpected values in their daily RSS readers.

"MacZOT is a great way to introduce Mac users to applications they might not usually get a chance to see. It works out perfectly for everyone because developers get their products featured in front of a large audience while consumers get great values," said John Casasanta, developer of the application iClip.

MacZOT supporters are speaking up with action. Daily Zot after Zot sell out and the first MyzteryZOT bundle sold more than 150 copies in just under ten hours.

MacZOT was founded by Brian Ball after spending more than eight years working in the Mac shareware market. He saw a need for a 3rd party site that could be used to test pricing, create buzz, and add a new twist to the way software has traditionally been bought and sold. The most powerful reaction from the site's visitors occur on days when they don't know what they're buying - but understand they're getting a tremendous value on useful applications.
