pricefindr blog

The big album news from last week as been Coldplay’s new album release Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends. Best priced I’ve found has been on bangcd.com for 8.90 Euro. Full price comparisons can be found here.

In other news cdwow.ie have updated there website I like the new look and feel definitely less cluttered. I have updated pricefindr to work with their new site. They really are showing signs of improvement I had gone off them for a while but recently any purchases I have made have gone smooth. Also the new site supports paying by Laser.

Every week pricefindr.ie publishes its weekly trends report. This is a report of price trends for cd’s it is generated as the pricefindr crawler refreshes its product results and builds its index.

It’s been a while since the last post …. last year in fact!!

With the xmas and a few days off I was hacking together a new feature which I think is pretty useful.
I’m calling it trends basically it displays the price movements for cd’s as the pricefindr crawler refreshes its index. One of the main things I’m trying to achieve is to constantly refresh the results and keep them as up to date as possible in doing this I noticed that a lot of the sites reduce there products quite regularly and thought I would be cool to know the latest reductions so trends was born.

It will allow users to see reductions on cd’s from the websites that pricefindr index. I’m going to start publishing a weekly blog entry showing a summary for the last week. Any way enjoy and send on feedback or ways you might like to see it improved.

In other minor updates I’ve been doing some minor tweaks to the UI trying to find a better design for it. (I really do now realise my frontend skills in html, javascript etc. are pants!!) . There probably isn’t going to be and major new features over the next while (busy in the day job). And my main efforts are going to be focused on adding more websites to pricefindr.ie and possibly some new verticals probably DVD’s.

In other random stuff I have to say I really am enjoying the new Radiohead album In Rainbows I didn’t actually buy the CD but got it from download when they made it available by naming your own price (I won’t disclose if I paid for it or not). But if did want it on cd I would of coursed used pricefindr to find the lowest price for it.

I have added HMV to pricefindr.ie their music cds should start filtering into the results over the next view days.
