New Comparison Shopping System
from the the-next-step dept
The folks who brought you ICQ are now launching a new comparison shopping system that differs from those that are already out there on the web. This time you download the shopping agent application, and every time you visit a commerce site, it will visit competing vendors and give you the prices of the items you're looking at. Personally, I think that's a pretty cool way of doing comparison shopping. While I'm generally against anything that involves downloading an app, I think I would use this more often than any web based comparison shopping site.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
