Future Trends: Diet Comparison Engine Anyone?
Here is a quick thought: why doesn’t someone come out with a dietary shopping comparison engine? Perhaps there is already one in existence, and I have not found it, but otherwise I would expect to see one soon.
Inspired by a Hitwise, I am well aware the dietary and health segment is a booming industry. Envisioning a listing of supplements and diet pills, exercise systems, and more with a customer feedback system does not seem a huge leap. Throw in a little information here and there, and you could have something.
If you are wondering, the current leaders in this segment, for women 35-44 are listed below:

Great idea. It makes me think that there is still quite a bit of growth potential for the niche markets for comparison sites. Obviously anything with a UPC can be compared, but anything that has an ample supply should also be up there as well (Kayak.com does this really really well).

Thanks for the link
and I’m happy to see us there at #6. We have big plans for ’08 and I’m sure we’ll do even better with the end-of-year results next year.
FYI – I’m sure our affiliate manager would be more than happy to work with anyone that starts such a shopping engine by providing a product/price feed, coupon codes, etc.
Glad I found this site. Bookmark=Added.
