I just want to be able to save money on gas, so if I’m at a store and able to comparison shop for better prices at another store without actually having to get in my car to go to said store - this might just be the key.

Great. The app should include prices also. This will generate a smart shopping movement and the competence will increase.

Sounds like a great concept! I have found lots of items via TheFind.com and this would be a super addition to it.

Fantastic journalism! Just a PR fluff job. Did anyone notice the “we” in the post: “If it works well, we hope to be able to offer similar beta programs in the future for other App Store developers.” Basically looks like Techcrunch copied and pasted an email from the Find into this post.

I’m actually surprised there aren’t already half a dozen apps for this. Guesses on who is next out of the gate?

Mike - you say that apple allows you to distribute the iphone app ad-hoc to 100 users.
Can anybody point me to this page on the apple iphone site?

@Skay
You should stick to writing your own corporate PR Blog: http://blog.thefind.com/thefin.....or-sh.html

Or at least use different names for all of your comments on other blogs re: TheFind.

This entire post is a lame PR stunt.

Yes I use slifter.com too, but it doesn’t work for me… They have very few stores and not very good results.
On their site http://www.thefind.com has great results when you click on ‘local’ - I hope they’re porting all of it to the iphone. Then it would be much more useful then slifter.
Till then ..!

I don’t get it, people get all worked up about beta opportunities but there’s a site that has been doing local shopping search for well over a year (slifter.com), and they have an iPhone web app - which I currently have on my iPhone, and you don’t have to sign up for a beta program or read comments that are clearly coming from the company.

Wow, look at all the fake comments from the company!

Finally, a local search shopping app that makes sense! I’m going to check it out. I use their website, and I’ll check this out when they release it - sounds useful.

This looks cool - of course we’ll see how it looks when it actually launches, but I like the concept.

Can someone share why Apple might have objection to such a service? I am trying to get arms around Apple’s criteria.

I like the regular version of the site .. hope they can also simplify my on the go shopping experience as well ..
