MSN Shopping Beta

Microsoft launched its shiny new comparison shopping engine Friday; right now it is in beta. This from ComparisonEngines.com:

Chris Jolley, Group Programming Manager of MSN Shopping: "Today is the day Microsoft has entered the comparison shopping space. We’ve put a ton of investment into building a better shopping comparison tool. [The site] is our recognition that this is how consumers want to shop. Microsoft has always been good at building great technology. A great selection without a good way to find a product is bad. A great tool with no selection doesn’t help either. We’ve coupled technology with a broad selection of products and merchants. This is a case where 1 + 1 = 3."

I'll be interested to see how it goes over the weekend. If you're in a shopping mood, check out my list of online shopping engines.
