Comments Off on Soft Goods VS. Hard Goods Comparison Shopping
I have launched a service of vertical shopping portals. The first of these is Designer Shoes for Sale. The fundamental problem I am trying to solve is that people shop for different goods in different ways.
For example shoes are purchased in a fundamentally different way than high end electronics. For example shoe sizing and shoe fit are very different from designer to designer. Most people when they are shopping for shoes online are looking for a replacement pair of shoes to the ones they already own. No shopper is going to buy a pair of shoes from a new designer without trying it on first. This makes for a fundamentally different buying experience. With Designer Shoes for Sale, I have made sure to display stocking and sizing availability for each designer and each shoe. This means consumers can quickly find if I have the correct size in stock and then check other shopping venues such as Ebay and Shopping.com on the same page to make sure my price is rock solid. So I try to make the buying experience re-affirm the fact that they are buying the exact same product they currently have.

Comments Off on Bestbuyszone.co.uk – Look Ma No Programming!
I have continued adding new features to Best Buys Zone UK. Last night I added Ebay.co.uk auctions to the product mix. The interesting thing about it – it’s a mashup built on top of existing software tools. It’s my experiment in building a mashup without any programming knowledge and it can be done by someone with no programming experience!

Comments Off on Bestbuyszone.co.uk Relaunches as a mini-mashup!
I had two projects this weekend. The first was a big outdoor planter/xeriscape project. The other was a complete re-mashing of Best Buys Zone UK. Somehow I managed to nearly complete both of them. Our house here in New Mexico is on a hill and when people put this house up, they couldn’t be bothered to build terraces to minimize erosion. So I have been building rock xeriscape terraces around the house.

Comments Off on Computer Security Blog
When I first started Thalasar.com I also started a number of other blogs. Almost all of them got abandoned at one point. I guess I simply spread myself too thin. One blog that I am reviving is my computer security blog.

Comments Off on I owe Jeff Barr a BIG apology!
What can I say. I am an idiot. A total fool sometimes. I haven’t talked too much about Best Buys Zone or Best Buys Zone UK lately but they were the sites that gave me the initial idea for Early Miser – compare everywhere at once. Best Buys Zone was a project a built a few years ago with the help of a top notch Russian programmer. It pioneered or rather completely invented the category of shopping by RSS.

While it’s a pretty common thing to do an online directory these days, I am trying my first one. My first online directory is using a PHP Link directory, a piece of software designed to build a directory.
