Shopzilla Solds to Scripps
The Search Engine Journal reports that Shopzilla, a shopping comparison and search tool, has been sold to EW Scripps, a large newspaper publisher and media company. This follows eBay's recent acquisition of the Shopping.com website. And some new shopping search engines have also been launched recently like Become.com and BrilliantShopper.com. Search Engine Journal also reports on a couple independent shopping search tools that are still left:Product review engine Become.com recently received US$7.2 million in funding. The "shopping vertical" -- though shopping isn’t really a vertical—is heating up. And there are still a few independent properties out there: PriceGrabber and NexTag among them.
