New York, New York - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - May 17, 2006
- Shopping search engine, ShopWiki, has launched its mobile service, to allow shoppers quick comparison of online product pricing or research product information before making an in-store purchase.
ShopWiki Mobile Search endeavors to provide a simple search box in which users can type exactly what they are looking for, including price ranges and product features such as megapixels, carats, pounds, and gigabytes. This natural language shopping search capability, unique to ShopWiki, provides accurate results on queries as complex as ''digital camera 4 mp over $300'' or ''400-600 watt amplifier.''
According to the company, with ShopWiki Mobile Search, shoppers get on-the-go access to some 60 million products crawled from more than 120,000 stores, the largest collection of products on the Internet. Unlike most shopping search providers, who rely on data feeds from retailers, ShopWiki uses advanced web crawling and extraction technologies to index products.
Searching the most stores on the web ensures mobile users will find the best pricing information for items like the ''Rocky Mountain Slayer 30'' bicycle or the ''Magic Cook Kitchen'' educational play set. With ShopWiki Mobile Search, shoppers can also consult more than 1,100 buying guides that provide buying information generated by ShopWiki users.
Kevin P. Ryan, ShopWiki Co-Founder and CEO explained, ''Whether you're shopping online or in a brick-and-mortar store, you want to know everything about a product. With ShopWiki Mobile Search, shoppers get price comparisons and buying guidance from the web's most comprehensive resource - all on their mobile phones.''
ShopWiki shopping search engine combines search and web crawling technologies with consumer-driven wiki technology to help shoppers make the most informed buying decisions. Established in 2005 by Eliot Horowitz, former DoubleClick CEO Kevin Ryan and DoubleClick Co-founder and former CTO Dwight Merriman, ShopWiki actively crawls the Internet to find and index products from more than 120,000 retail stores, offering consumers the widest selection on the web. The site does not accept data feeds or charge for inclusion. ShopWiki is privately held and based in New York.
