Nowadays there is a lot of marketing promotions published on various websites each day. People often have to search several websites to find the promotions that they want. Our mobile application, `ProCircle', was developed as a platform to collect promotion news into one place. We used web data scraping technique for scraping promotion news from reliable websites. In addition, we also applied crowdsourcing technique to obtain supporting data of promotion news which can be rapidly evolved. Together the scrapped promotion news and the supporting data from crowdsourcing will allow the collective search of promotion information in our ProCircle platform.
