Online Shopping Search A Bit Dull

It’s the holidays, Cyber-Monday is tomorrow, Black Friday is behind us, yetpeople just can’t seem to have enough stuff. If that’s you, and you’ve scoured the likes of MySimon, and various online store sites, then perhaps you’d be interested in finding what you want via a shopping search site called Milo.

Milo is nothing particularly fascinating, nor did I find it interesting. Now perhaps there’s something magical under the hood, but I didn’t see it. I do find their slogan fairly interesting, “Find it Local, Get it Now.” I only wish were the truth.

I did a quick search for my wife on some sewing equipment she needs and it came up with nothing. Now either what she wants does not exist, or their database is not as deep as one would think, or there just simply isn’t one locally. I’m know it’s not not the first one, and the last one would be a lie because I’ve seen them in various stores already.

Just another site to search for items that crawl the same store and online sites that others do does not interest me. Now if there was a way it could crawl local community sites, Craigslist, Freecycle, and any other local posting communities, now that would be an interesting hybrid.

Until then Milo is not even a blip on my personal radar, but might be what you’re looking for if you’re looking for something new.
