Yahoo has announced its advanced shopping search Shoposphere. It also has a feature called Pick Lists which sounds like Amazon Listmania. The blog entry says this featire will help tap the Long Tail of shopping better.
For a quick comparison with Froogle, try running a search for 'Apple Laptops' in both engines. The difference you see is because of divergent search ideologies.
Froogle results: Totally computer-generated. Result: Filtering possible only in terms of price
Y! Results: You give the job to humans and they can give you filter options in terms of processor, memory, size etc,. !!
Now which one would you prefer ? Does it matter how brilliant the geeks are who write great algorithms ?
