myTriggers.com Offers Comparison Shopping Industry's Only Persistent Search Engine

November 27, 2006; 05:57 AM
Created to give consumers and online merchants alike an unbeatable comparison shopping experience, myTriggers.com (www.myTriggers.com) today launched its unique service featuring a “persistent search” engine that continually scours the Internet for specific items at a specific price, and then notifies users of results in real-time via email, RSS or SMS text.

myTriggers.com is the first comparison shopping engine to use a pure “cost per action” (CPA) model where merchants only pay for sales or customer acquisitions, rather than low-quality or fraudulent clicks. Consumers benefit from a clean interface that connects them to sellers as quickly as possible without annoying ads, manipulated search results, or other clickable clutter.

With instant access to more than 100 million items from more than 1 million online sellers such as Wal-Mart, Sony, Apple, Office Depot, Overstock.com, Amazon.com, and Buy.com, as well as eBay, myTriggers.com offers the most competitive prices on the Web and empowers consumers with the tools to get them quickly. Since myTriggers.com is connected directly to merchants’ real-time inventory—not to Web bots or spiders—consumers get pricing on items that are actually in stock.

“More than half of all Web users access search engines to facilitate online purchases, and myTriggers.com delivers an unparalleled, speedy comparison shopping experience by eliminating ads and other clutter that keep you from finding exactly what you’re looking for,” said Glenn S. Meyers, a Web pioneer and founder and CEO of myTriggers.com. “myTriggers.com users also benefit from our one-of-a-kind persistent search feature that acts like a personal assistant who shops for you even while you sleep. This saves consumers a lot of time in finding the season’s hottest electronics, toys, CDs and hard-to-find collectible or hobby items at the price they want to pay.” Meyers was formerly founder and CEO of RareMedium Group (“RRRR”), a leading Web development and incubator company, and of satellite company SkyTerra (“SKYT”).

How It Works

To use myTriggers.com, online shoppers simply enter their search terms, along with a maximum or target price they are willing to pay. myTriggers.com instantly finds items that match the stated criteria. If the same item is found at several merchants, the user can click on the item to compare prices. Search results can be sorted by relevance or price and the user can click on the item and go directly to the merchant's site to purchase. The Trigger It! Feature allows users to save their search, and myTriggers.com will continuously send new matches to the user as soon as they hit the Web. myTriggers.com allows users to manage when, how (delivery options include email, RSS, and SMS/text messaging, and soon by instant message and voice notification), and for how long they receive new search results from their personal settings page.
