| Shopping Assistants / Bots |
|
Shopping assistants will help compare prices across on-line
stores. They are wonderful at helping to find the best prices
and to get extra information that can help with your purchase decisions.
Most shopping assistants give you a choice to
register. Whether you register or not, the shopping
sites will be gathering marketing data - including profiles of your
usage (where you visit, what you buy, time that you spend
looking). Registering usually will provide additional services.

An alternative to shopping assistants is to use a robot installed
on your computer. The best of the current breed is "ClickTheButton". To
operate, you download the software and install on your
computer. Once installed a bulls eye will appear on your
toolbar. When visiting a shopping site, clicking on the bulls
eye will automatically create a comparison of prices at other
on-line stores! You can find ClickTheButton at http://www.clickthebutton.com/

Borders
|
Good knock-off of Amazon. Not as much fun as going to one of Border's giant
stores and paging through books ... but well organized, good
descriptions, and you won't get cold on a winter day. There is
even a cafe section! Generally good prices. |
