Comparison Shopping Service Offers RSS Feeds

Dulance is offering a comparison shopping service with RSS feeds. It's free. You can check it out at http://www.dulance.com .

You know the drill. Go to the site, it's a cute little search box, run a search. Make your search as specific as you can -- a product name, code, or ISBN number. If you search for something like iPod you will get results all over the map -- search for something more specific like "iPod Mini".

A search for "iPod Mini" gets you a little progress box that tots up numbers and finally a list of results. 33 results, sortable by relevance or by price. Some of them look like rot ("ipod mini" at eBay lists a price of .01; I'm sure there are iPod minis at eBay but is that a real price?) but some of them look more real. There's a price range to get rid of all the cases, armbands, battery chargers, etc. There's also an advanced search that lets you add some search characteristics, like the kind of places you want to search (shopping, comparison sites, non-commercial sites) and what kind of products you want (new, used, refurbished).

There's an XML button to get your results as an RSS feed. a new entry on the feed occurs when the Dulance engine finds a change in price or a new seller of the item; you track the changes through a regular RSS reader. Dulance reports these changes being found and the RSS feeds updated as quickly as "seconds after they occur."
