I read an article recently about eBay, claiming the online retail giant is suffering from slower growth lately. Frankly, as the web and the online economy matures, I am not surprised that this is the case. After all, why visit one shopping destination, when you have shopping comparison engines such as shopping.com and dealtime.co.uk that do such a great job. I recently searched for a new cellphone and had my eye on the N95 by Nokia. After searching in Dealtime I found so many stores competing for my business and even had a link to eBay auctions for the same product leaving the choice in my hand. But besides ranking products by price, they also do an excellent job with product and store rankings making it easy to compare various buying options one against the other. My next job is to get a new laptop and have already begun to Compare Notebooks using Dealtime. It’s so much fun!
