Why Not an Anti-Globalization Shopping Search?
31 January 2007 01:13 PM | Search Engines
I am no fan of Globalization. I just do not see how
exporting jobs to the Third World helps the people of
the USA other than by lowering the price of my socks
by a couple of bucks. The truth is we have been
trained to always go for the lowest price retailer,
which just plays into the whole cheap goods, Big Box
Store mentality.
How About a Shopping Search for where goods are made?
I got to looking at shopping search engines like NexTag, Yahoo Shopping and Ask Shopping and most of these are set up to find the lowest price retailers. Why can't I search for, let's say, "socks" and restrict it to socks "Made in USA"? I just might buy American made socks.
I think I might like to try using such a search engine. If one exists please let me know.
