I think the "other ways" might not always be horrible ideas. It just leads to messy, unreadable code. Of course, its upto the programmer to write readable code.

Hey John - That explains the results I got. Maybe you should include this information in the homepage. But otherwise I like the way the results are presented and the feeds (Google still doesn't have this).

Search 1: oral-b sonic complete toothbrush Google: http://www.google.com/products?q=oral-b+sonic+complete+tooth... Bountii: http://bountii.com/search.php?item=oral-b+sonic+complete+too...

Search 2: oral-b sonic complete toothbrush head Google: I got 2-3 links to eBay and couple of other sites Bountii: No results found

Search 3: gillette MACH3 razor Google: http://www.google.com/products?q=gillette+MACH3+razor&bt... Bountii: No results found

Edit: I know these searches may not be the most popular searches. But still these are not hard to find products...

The site looks good and does what it says. But I compared a few products with Google Products search (formerly Froogle) and I got more deals from Google than Bountii. Of course, you don't have a large index as Google (yet), but ultimately the question is how is it different from Google Products?

Just curious: How many of you are willing to give your bank passwords to Mint.com? I'm still scared to give out my most important credentials to a 3rd party. Maybe I'm paranoid.
