    Pricenoia for a better deal.

    Got this one from one of my readers, Dave Starr — Pricenoia.com.

    It’s a substantially cool implementation of Ajax and it’s one of the few sites I have ever seen on line that truly cater to those outside the USA as well as inside.

    You search for an item from Amazon (be sure to use the drop down to search all the Amazon sites) and tell it the country to ship to .. and it checks availability and shipping costs from all the sites. Example, I searched for a certain book and put in Philippines for destination .. cheapest overall source was amazon.jp … who woulda thunk it.

    And all this time, I was shopping at Amazon US.

    Pricenoia has been around for over a year now and they’ve been spotted by several huge blogs already:

    It also got an honorable mention at the recent SEOmoz Web 2.0 Awards.

    { Thanks to Dave for the tip! }
