Thanks man (I assume you’re a male geek…) for the posting.  Feel free to shoot us over more feedback as we continue to build our system into a more robust crawler and reporter.   Always warms our heart to hear we’re attacking a needed domain.  To address your concerns, we do work on a natural language processing backend to account for human-related errors but in any event, for a large pool of points, we believe this is going to be negligible.

PriceFad allows you to track the price trends on your favorite products - Gizmo Insider
I have this problem of tracking prices on various products for months and months before actually pulling the gun on the purchase. Yes, this doesn’t seem very weird for a techno-nerd like myself, however I always try to find the best price possible. So when I heard about this new website called PriceFad I knew it was right up my alley.

…I surfed around the website for a little bit this afternoon and am pretty impressed with the website. Going by my searches it looks as if the website “crawls” various deal websites such as FatWallet.com for keywords and then creates the “data” from the posts it finds. The only downside I could see from this is if its automated in its data collecting, then the data might be skewed by people who mis-type or fake deals on various shopping retailers. I didn’t test this out as I don’t want to get flamed/banned from any of these deal forums, so hopefully the people over at PriceFad worked something into their algorithm to account for these types of posts.

But all in all, PriceFab is a very solid website for those who addicted to price-tracking and I defintely recommend checking it out when making your next purchase.

Appreciate your very nice piece on us! Thanks Kristen!

Also, great to know about PriceProtectr (isn’t this tr suffix so off nowadays…) - I guess the two services operate in a web2.0-ish manner doing the best to make the customer aware of more market information.

PriceFad is a new site that lets you see the historical price trends of a particular product, to help you see if today’s price is really the best price.

The service pulls data from all over the web to accumulate the price history of particular items. You just type in the name of a product that you’re looking for, and PriceFad will give you the historical price points for that item on a graph. View by month, week or day, and see the data for a range of 1 day to a year. Toggle between average and detailed reports. You can chart the price history of two additional products for comparison purposes, which are provided in drop down boxes that list items available for you to choose from. There is also the option of having email alerts sent to you when a price changes, or you can subscribe to a product via RSS.

This site has a large amount of data for electronic items, such as GPS trackers, monitors, memory cards and television screens. This is probably due to the exacting nature of the product names. It would be additionally helpful to be able to enter the URL or other identifying mark, such as the ISBN number, to help track more products in more ways. A service like PriceFad could be a great ingredient for all sorts of mashups. Similar services include Farecast and PriceProtectr.
