Milo

Have you heard about Milo yet? According to the their website they dub their service as: "Your local shopping companion". What does this mean exactly? Milo is an online service that will search the inventory of major retailers in YOUR local area, advising you of availability of product you're looking for - and BEST PRICE!. In other words, it's a multi-search engine for shopping. I was then shocked to see them say that 95% of sales happen at real stores in the real world. That is brick and mortar shops as opposed to somewhere on the Internet. Are you surprised as well? Bizarre, right? If you have shopped for something in the real world recently, you'll know that the stores with the cheapest prices are also usually sold out of what you want. And when do you find that out? When you get to the store, of course. I hate taking pointless trips! And I hate being unhappy even more! What about you? Enter Milo, which will help you answer these three questions: 1. What's available at local stores? 2. Which product is the best for me? 3. Where is it cheapest and available in stock? This could be an invaluable shopping tool to save you money on product, and "running-around" time to find what you're looking for! Happy hunting... Ron.

I keep Milo bookmarked, hoping it will some day deliver on the promise of realtime product selection and inventory information. To date, I've not found results comparable to using The Find or ShopLocal.
