Shopping.com launched today a new comparison shopping site called DoorOne in the UK, France, Germany and Austrailia. It’s reported that this was due to the Shopping.X namespace being unavailable in all markets.
However this release is more than just a different URL as they have introduced a number of new features:
- Multiple selection of facets. First introduced on eBay Express, this is an easy way to select multiple brands you’re interested in or perhaps two size shoes that may work.
- Category Clustering of Results. Notice how the page is filled with TVs, Camcorders and Digital Cameras.
- Popular Data at Top. They show the most popular products bought on top.
The design on the doorone site is clean and has every element of Web 2.0 written all over it.
