Become Shopping Comparison Launched - Reviewed

Last week Michael Yang walked me through the preview of Become's new shopping comparison functionality. He showed me some of the features that may not seem apparent at first, especially if you don't actually try to compare similar or even different items. There are some pretty neat gems that will be overlooked if you don't give it a whirl for yourself.

Unique Comparison Shopping Features Introduced
(1) Ability to add / compare different items across multiple sessions.

In order to really use this feature you must click on the "SHOP" submit button rather than the "Research" button. I know it seems obvious but for whatever reason it's not intuitive.

This opens up your new shopping comparison experience.

(2) Ability to research specific items using crawl based search results rather than just by user feedback. Simply click on the research link below each item and you can do your own research on each item from Become's index. No other comparison engine does or can do this, that's pretty nifty.

(3) Unique shopping comparison filters that can be combined to fine tune your product results. You're able to restrict your results by price, brand and category, all at the same time.

Let me say that again in case it didn't sink in at first.

You're able to restrict your results by price, brand and category, all at the same time.

This is huge!

Why is this huge? Cause nobody else has or can do it in the same fashion. Become is using their algorithm to supply additional research information on every item your search returns and noone else can do that or will be able to do that for some time if ever.

Well, that's it for now. More to come later.
