If you ever shopped Online and did some comparison before deciding, you know how cumbersome that can be: saving Web pages, seeking someone second opinion, making lists etc. Now, there is a solution to help you organize your next Online shopping expedition; it is called Snipi, a free download from Snipi.com. The application as the name suggests, works by letting you gather your Online shopping results in one place by assembling pieces of information about a product from different Web pages and organizise them in lists. Those lists will be stored on your personalised page within the application and available to you anytime.
The snipi application has a mobile version for the iPhone that when accessed, shows the latest updated of the lists created using a PC.
But as of right now, the application and its toolbar which allows you to use all its functions, only works as a browser plug-in with Mozilla's Firefox. Light versions for both Internet Explorer and Apple's Safari are in the works.
On the upside, Snipi has some handy features like save pictures or videos of items you are interested in, a built-in tool that allows you to share your findings with friends on Facebook, Twitter or Wordpress blogs.
It also has a comparison shopping tool which works best for durable goods like electronics and not so for apparel.
