Become.com Better

I wrote about Become.com when it went live in 2/05, it's much better now with the added features of search suggestions and price comparisons.

Vertical search is the new frontier and I think you're going to like the results you find with Become.com.

Before buying anything, do your research at Become.com on any product or service, it's the algorithm that could save you money.

I met Yeogirl Yun at the first Web 2.0 conference, he was sitting next to me at the diner where I heckled Marc Cuban. Last October at the second Web 2.0 conference I sat next to Michael Yang at the opening night dinner and our conversation almost cost me a Media Center PC. MSN hosted the diner and gave each of us a number at our place setting. Early in the evening they gave away MP3 players and wireless mice, but at the conclusion I heard someone say OK, we'll have to call another number for the grand prize, so I turned away from Michael and shouted what was the number? 90, was the reply and YES I said hoisting my fist into the sky!
