Booksprice: NYC based Booksprice has added a persistent search feature to it’s price comparison engine. RSS Price Watcher basically delivers price changes as RSS feeds which makes it easier for you to buy products at your target price. Booksprice enables search for Books, CD, DVDs, and Games from various online retailers including Amazon, Half.com, Barnes&Noble, and Buy.com. Launched 2 years back Booksprice claims to currently have an audience of 75,000 users each month. Besides the new feature release, the comparison engine delivers the capability to compare prices for all the items in your shopping cart at the same time instead of going one-by-one route. To get started with your comparisons faster you can install the Booksprice plugin for IE/Firefox to right click on item and search.
Couple of players that have similar features to Booksprice are- myTriggers that gives persistent search results and uGenie that gives your the best price for multiple items in your cart.
Pytagor: Number of startups are experimenting with WebOS ideas. Pytagor is another one. The startup wants to host your docs, files, pictures, bookmarks, ….. everything. Once inside, application loads up pretty fast, right click gives you number of options like create folders, move folders, and options like document search. However Pytagor has a long way to go before it ends up anywhere. UI aside, companies like Pytagor need to build trust with users before they really upload their data. Having a blog, a user forum, and putting your address on the site can easily prove you are not just another runaway startup. Others in the market include YouOS, Challenger, XIN, and eyeOS
