Google Acquires Visual Shopping Engine Like.com

August 23, 2010

FROM RETAILWIRE:

MY COMMENTARY:

Google has the desire and creativity to reshape comparison shopping. They have a corporate culture that empowers their employees to try new ideas. And they have the cash and stock to buy companies that are innovative. Consumers use the web extensively to research products and compare prices. They generally welcome any tools that assist in this effort. I look to Google to be at the forefront of innovation to help consumers find what they are looking for in the most efficient way possible.
