VentureBeat: Become.com, a search engine to shop with

  • Anonymous Techie · 4 years ago
    How can you claim "a laser-like focus on helping people comparison shop" when the search results don't include prices?

    I'll stick with nextag.com.

    Did you use the main Google search engine or Froogle?
  • Matt Marshall · 4 years ago
    Used Google. As Anon suggests, price listings right now are best found elsewhere. Froogle is one example. Taking "shopping" more broadly defined, including reviews, etc, as the measure, the Beyond.com founders say Google's main engine will be their stiffest competition.

    Any reason why you didn't also try these queries on Yahoo? Per your criteria, "Cuisinart frying pans" has great results; "kitchen knives" not so good.

    I still really like http://www.addall.com for comparison book shopping.
