Google Buys Seattle’s Sparkbuy to Improve Consumer Electronics Search
- TheIronYuppie 15y agoTotally awesome - congrats Sparkbuyers!
- jasonlgrimes 15y agoUnbelievable guys - great work Scott, Dan!
- scottporad 15y agoWere any of you users of SparkBuy? I was...it was excellent. I'm really hoping it will be back in action soon, but somehow given how Google treats these things (e.g. Jot, Dodgeball, etc), I'm thinking it will be awhile.
- happybuy 15y agoAs I mentioned in another thread on the topic, although not exactly equivalent just yet, our startup is working in the similar space: http://www.happybuy.com/ http://www.happybuy.com/ We are looking to innovate in the online shopping space by providing additional layers including price tracking, recommendations and price predictions. We followed SparkBuy and thought that their search interface (using facets etc) was well done and took ideas from Kayak (and others) into the broader/general shopping space. We're looking at improving our search interface along similar lines in the future so I'd be interested in thoughts of previous SparkBuy users how our site compares - and any other comments HN'ers may have.
