Sites of Interest - Using the Shopping.com API

Shopping.com just updated their site look and feel. Here are two sites that have utilized the Shopping.com API as the backend to their shopping site. They also have a Web 2.0ish vibe about them showcasing CSS, AJAX, Community, etc. I’ve highlighted some points of interest:

CameraPrices.com
Camera Prices - Dedicated to Camera Shopping

  • Editor Blog
  • Community Features (Drupal Integration / Commenting on any Product)
  • Social Bookmarking of Reviews
  • Usage of Shopping.com UK / AU

Camera Prices is also currently giving away $100 to 1-in-10 members who write product reviews. A good incentive to get the community going, and add some content to their site at the same time.

Sprenzy
Sprenzy - General Shopping

  • Shopping Blog
  • Recently Viewed Products
  • Modularized - Ability to Show/Hide different sections

    Thanks Marc for the mention. The shopping by brand has been available for a while but it is all screwed up. It does not work right as of today.

    Who is the site owner of Sprenzy.com? I really love the template and some nice features he/she added. I would mind asking if they would want to do some template work for us in the future.

    Marc, thank you for the mention.

    Elvis, I’m glad you like the UI and features of Sprenzy. We are in the process of adding additional site features so we aren’t planning on doing any outside consulting work at this time. But thanks for the interest. I’m sure Marc can connect you with the right people.
