Shopping.com Gets a Facelift, and More
Update: Apparently I stumbled across a live “test” of a new site look. What are the odds? So Shopping.com does not actually have a new look yet, but perhaps they may in the future.
Shopping.com just got a facelift. Following the 2-Point-0 trend, the look of their site uses slightly more pastel colors and gradients.
Along with graphical improvements, I noticed a new feature. You can now shop by Brand across the entire site. For example, lets say I’m a huge fan of the Canon brand. I can browse just Canon products for all categories (they make binoculars?).
I wonder is this Brand search feature available via the Shopping.com API?
Another feature I noticed (did it exist before?) was that they have integrated Buyer’s Guides from eBay and other sites.
BTW, I told Brian Smith, who runs the Comparison Engines Blog, about the new look, and he beat me to posting about it! What a jerk! 
Brian don’t you have a company to run now?

I should have known. Trying to browse one of the 16,0000 brands on Shopping.com I randomly choose Garnier.
I got the error: “(500) We are temporarily unable to respond to your request.
Please try again in a couple of minutes.”
Interesting. This seems to happen with a majority of the brands.
I just tried it and cannot get a 500 error. Looks like they fixed a bunch of issues. the brand shopping is cool. I like it
