If their offering lives up to the impossibly large billing, expect the guys at Goodzer to be one of Google’s next acquisition targets. From their own About page:
We started Goodzer in 2010 for two reasons: we needed to buy some things locally but had no clue where to find them … and the Internet offered no solution. There was no app for that.
Sad but true. Up until now, there was no comprehensive and reliable search engine for a wide variety of consumer goods. By wide variety, we mean not just electronics and stuff you can get at the mall. But all items – big, small, or obscure – from hair brushes to hammer drills to collectibles. And not just from ‘big box’ retailers, but from boutiques and mom ’n’ pop shops.
Why wasn’t there a search engine for local goods? Turns out, that’s a very hard problem to solve. But that’s what we’ve done.
Goodzer is an easy-to-use search service allowing anyone to instantly obtain the most accurate information possible about a particular product at local retailers, to quickly compare prices, and to locate the right store.
