A whole new way to shop online – Browse Goods
If you like to just browse through products online, but hate the wrist-numbing clicking, clicking, clicking, you have to check this out. It’s an entirely new shopping interface created by a company called Dotted Pair.
Browse Goods allows you to scan hundreds of products at once, search by feature or category (search by price is coming soon), and you zoom in and out on items of interest. When you find items you like, you can save them for closer inspection or side-by-side comparison. When you click “buy” Browse Goods opens the retailer’s window and you purchase the item as usual.
Browse Goods is not a retailer, rather they bring multiple online retailers together to allow the shopper to easily scan and browse products. This saves time, but it also allows us to browse almost like we would at a brick and mortar department store – just randomly looking around, then zeroing in when something catches our eye. The new shopping interface is in the Beta version right now. It currently only features shoes, watches, toys and sports products from Amazon. I expect other retailers will jump on this bandwagon soon.
I tried Browse Goods myself and I really enjoyed the experience. It took me a minute or two to get oriented, but then I was happily zooming and saving and, well, browsing, to my heart’s content. It was a new, fun and functional way for me to see hundreds of pairs of shoes (or watches) without having to click my way from one end of the Internet to the other.
Experts say that online shopping is due to level out, so retailers are looking for the next big thing to keep us online and shopping. This could be it. I encourage you to try this out and let me know what you think!

I use http://www.DealTaker.com. I don’t have time to google for promotional coupon codes and theirs are always up to date. They also have http://www.PriceTaker.com, so when I’m looking for something specific, it will tell me which stores have the item at the cheapest prices and if there’s a valid coupon code for that store. They always have the best deals listed!
