March 16, 2007; 06:37 AM RoboShopper.com has been re-launched as a "Meta" comparison shopping
service that allows shoppers to easily access more than a dozen top
comparison shopping engines.
Online comparison shopping is a highly competitive and fast evolving area with many different technologies available.
RoboShopper
aims to provide an easy to use navigation interface where users can try
ALL (or most of) the major engines, as well as some of the newer ones.
RoboShopper also support local shopping and searching for product
reviews/ratings and information.
RoboShopper is not, itself, a
search engine, but rather a navigation system that makes it easy for
users to view and compare the results of queries on a number of
comparison shopping systems.
According to RoboShopper
president, Marty Ford, "As online comparison shopping continues to be
tremendously competitive, with no clear winner emerging (yet), we think
it makes a lot of sense to provide a gateway site where consumers can
easily access all the alternatives."
About RoboShopper
RoboShopper
(www.roboshopper.com) was one of the first comparison shopping engines (introduced in 1997),
and was initially implemented as a client-side browser add-in. As an
individual shopping engine, RoboShopper failed to keep up with the
technical advances of its competitors. The service has now been
redirected to provide an un-biased portal site where shoppers can
explore a variety of comparison shopping technologies.
