Shopping Around with UrbanStone
Recently, I came across a very interesting review request that was actually through Twitter. Interestingly enough, the website is called UrbanStone.co.uk which offers its readers a variety of shopping deals and allows them to compare shopping prices – much like some of the website we use here in the States.
The way the website works is quite interesting, it pulls prices of an item that you select and runs it through a variety of websites to make sure that the price you pay, is indeed the lowest price possible. For example, if I am looking for a Nintendo Wii I can just type in the search box and it brings up a variety of results.
What was interesting was that the results showed not only the one color of the Wii but the other color as a separate item – just in case my search was not as specific. Also, it provides reviews of the product that you may be looking for which is powered through Epinions.com which means that all you have to do to find the best prices and any related reviews is go to one website. The prices for the Wii ranged from 140 pounds to 400 pounds but was found in over 58 stores. Upon clicking the item you get a little description of what you will be purchasing, from what website the item will be purchased and its related price.
You can look up everything from electronics such as blu-ray players to home appliances such as freezers. If you’re like me then you’d probably want to make sure that instead of spending your money frivolously, taking the time to do the research can lead to tremendous savings and this website is just one more way to do just that. Overall, the website is well laid out and quite easy to use and for those in the UK, this might be just another way to find the best prices and reviews for products you want to purchase!
this is new idea which will promote the online business and consumers to come close. This is very wonderful platform where sell and buyer have massive possibility and option.
Agreed- but doesn’t Froogle already do this?
There are many comparison applications out there. What does this one do differently?

UrbanStone has not gained popularity, though it is quite normal for a fresh website. I use Price Grabber and I think it is much more advanced website. Though, we shall see who’s better later.
