One of the great things about the internet and the web is the way in which we can now all go shopping without actually having to tramp around the stores. However, that in itself has its own problems: how, out of the billions of pages of the web, do we find the places which actually sell what we want? Further, how to we find the places that give us a good (or the best!) deal on what we do want?

Well, there’s a number of comparison engines out there but most of them suffer from a certain problem. The people they recommend are the people who have paid them to recommend them….that’s not quite the same thing as pointing to the people who are offering the very best bargain now, is it?

And then there’s ShopWiki: they operate with a series of spiders and bots (very much like Google) going out over the web to see what everyone has to offer. They then present the results in an easily understandable form: so you do get to see who has the best deals.

The information is also easily sorted through: for example, here’s their babies and toddlers section. Drilling down from that we get the car seats buying guide, or the health and hygeine buying guide, or the babyproofing and home safety buying guide…..and then underneath those you get to the actual product selections.

Guides to what you need to know plus the widest possible product selection.

Pretty good, hunh?
