The search engine technology crawls the web to search for the best products. While saving you money. Looking for a gift no problem. Shopping is easy and fast with their search engine.
Their search engines has several intuitive features: Their crawler crawls the web to bring you the best results for reviews,merchants,and buying guides with useful information while filtering out the garbage.
You can filter out unwanted results and only search what interest you. You can also find discussions with real consumers to interact with and ask questions about different products.
You can even find out news about your favorite places to do your shopping. You can also find news on shopping websites that have a bad reputation.
My favorite feature on Become.com is not only finding the best stores but the results re-veil the total price for the products your shopping for below you can find example of products I need to find prices on.
If you don't like making purchase off the Internet. You could use another wonderful feature. The "local" feature allows you to find the closest store in your area. Not sure if a store has a particular item you are looking for in your area. It's easy to find out by using the local feature. No more driving around and going shopping and coming out empty handed.
With the local feature you will save time and gas. You can even keep track of the items you plan to buy. Kind of like a grocery list. If you like to plan early for holidays like Xmas. You can create a list of ideas of what to shop for or products to buy for your family.
All you have to do is favorite the item and it appears at the top of your Become.com screen. Every time you visit the site all your favorites you have saved will appear at the top of the screen.
No more forgetting what to buy for your friends and family. If you know or have an idea what someone needs just favorite the product. When Xmas or birthdays arrive. You don't have to guess what your friends and family may need or want.
You see what they need or they happen to say what they wish for. Just favorite the product and it's there waiting to remind you of the perfect gift that is truly wanted. Not a gift that will be put to the side or returned for a better gift.
Here is some example of products I did a search to find prices and name brands.
Reviewer Note: Pros and Cons
Issues I Found on the Become.com Website
The pros for Become.com: You can easily get prices from different merchants. You can discuss products with other customers. Great for planning ahead for your shopping for Birthdays and Xmas. The website has a great concept to make shopping easier and save you time and money.
The cons for Become.com: The site is relatively new. Search engine not always accurate with results. As you see in the example of product links.
Because Become.com is a new website they have a limited choice of merchants. The product suggestion feature needs work. Its not always relevant to your search.
If you type in the keyword for example jla warming blankets. The link directs you to "electric blankets" instead of jla warming blankets. Here is why http://home-and-garden.become.com/electric-blanket The link url directs you to electric blankets not ila warm blankets.
I also noticed the links don't match the keywords. Like "expandable card table" the link keywords are expandable-console-table. http://home-and-garden.become.com/expandable-console-table
The links are also miss spelled keywords example "eura pillow covers" http://home-and-garden.become.com/euro-pillow-covers In the link 'euro" is misspelled "eura."
Over all Become.com is a great website that has technical issues that I am sure will be resolved.
