Finding Stuff on ShopWiki is Cool. Just Saying

I like the idea, a lot. I'm a big fan of Google Products (people who know me already know this), although I was a bigger fan when it was called Froogle (just saying; I think going the "Google Products" boring route was a cop-out).


But, my kudos to the free and powerful Google Products aside, I must tell you, too, that I'm fining ShopWiki pretty awesome.

I recently had to look for some Low Voltage Halogen Lamps (yes, I really did, but, no, I won't tell you what for). I tried Google Products. Lots of great results. But I ended up making the purchase from the links I got at ShopWiki. That also served my need for finding Desk Lamps, and also when I was looking to shop for a new torch lamp, which I also had to do, recently.

Comparison shopping is the way to get the best price on the web, and ShopWiki does it well. But I'm not dissing Google Products, which I also love.


PriceGrabber and Shopping.com? Not so much. You want the best prices on stuff, they often stink--because advertisers have to pay confiscatory rates to get listed. Not so with ShopWiki or Google Products.
