An ad for Zanussi Fridge going to a kelkoo price comparison result is hardly spam.</p><p>Kelkoo still has over 75% of the price comparison market in the UK (hitwise UK) so can hardly been said to have "lost" the game.</p><p>Saying that, I admit they have not innovated for many years especially since the Yahoo acquisition - and this is because all the founders and real visionary's left (bar one).</p><p>The fact that Yahoo hasn't made it work says more about them than it does Kelkoo - i.e., Yahoo don't "get" ecommerce and europe.</p>Philip WilkinsonWed, 03 Oct 2007 17:44:09 -0000
