ExperTelligence Inc., a provider of
Web-based, database server technology added a shopping comparison category to
WebData.com, its Internet database
portal.


The inclusion of the shopping comparison category within WebData 4D (WD4D),
ExperTelligence’s proprietary, patent-pending Web user interface, enables
users to locate the most competitive price for a given product at leading e-
commerce sites in the following categories: books, computers, software, movies
and music.


The shopping comparison category currently queries Amazon.com, Barnes and
Noble, Spree.com, Buscoe Books, ChaptersGlobe, MicroWarehouse, American
Computers Shopping Network, CDW, Computer Warehouse, TWEC.com, Blockbuster,
Movies Unlimited, Moviehouse.com, CD Universe, CD Now, CD World, Music BLVD,
Beyond.com, Software2Buy, and Software Plus.


For example, a user interested in buying music can click on one of the sites
in the Music section, enter the title in a single field and gain immediate
access to a CD’s price and
availability in real time.


“During many searches, the current shopping comparison sites only spider to
limited data on a site and, quite often, the information has been cached,
which results in inaccuracies,” said Denison Bollay, president of
ExperTelligence.
“As with our recently introduced auctions comparison category, WD4D Shopping
simplifies searching multiple shopping sites for an item.”


“WebData WD4D Shopping is the perfect interactive, ‘virtual’ middleman for
connecting buyers and sellers,” said Robert Reali, vice president of
ExperTelligence. “Buyers need only to bookmark WebData.com and enter in what
they want to buy once and, with one click, compare the exact same items
between the sellers.”


Founded in 1984, ExperTelligence is a Web Internet consulting and software
company specializing in the development and hosting of Web/Database and
Electronic
Commerce application solutions using its flagship products WebBase and
ExperForms.
