ebay is also working with apollo - cant wait until someone gives me rss keyword subscription visualization for ebay auctions on the desktop.

A much better implementation is at: http://www.CrispyShop.com, which is probably the coolest of all visual shopping sites. At CrispyShop we visualize 50 products at once by their price, features and popularity.
Group digital cameras by megapixels and: “Hey I can get this 10 megapixels Sony digital camera for lower price than this 5 megapixels from Sony…”

For soft goods, browsegoods.com is probably the best; for products where features are important, CrispyShop.com is by far the best one.

not impressed at all. there is nothing here worth mentioning.

i’m very close to this market and have been for quite some time. i’m shocked to see such a disappointment come out of Mpire.

from a user experience level it doesn’t add any value or stand out as unique from a functional perspective.

i hope ebay didn’t contribute to this.

http://www.mpire.com/research/ebayPop.ivk from Mpire for eBay is slightly better and does serve some value

The flash is apparently too large for my screen. Some items are cut off on the bottom, and you can’t scroll to them without using multiple “focus on this product” widgets. Otherwise, interesting.

I’ve been using Mpire for quite a while and I really like this shopping site. Even prior to this new release, I have used it quite a bit. I really like the close partnerships with the other sites, I can always find a good deal, and now with the reviews mashup element, I can see what other people think of the products I’m looking at.

i tried it out - i’m not impressed, at least not enough to switch

the only thing that’s cool abut this site is the price trend graph - and even then, it’s not that accurate.

i tested it out for a certain swiss watch co. ‘daytona’ model..it’s fairly accurate

i tested it out for a german sportscar ‘turbo’ model…it was off by$50K

bottom line for me: it’s only so and so
