More Price Comparison Toolbar News
Thursday, January 31st, 2008
We just wanted to write this quick post to keep all of our users informed about some recent and/or upcoming changes to our price comparison toolbar. Due to the ever changing technology associated with community toolbars and the Internet in general, it is necessary that we often update our price comparison toolbar in order to stay at the forefront of functionality and customer service. When making decisions on changes, our users, and how they will benefit from any changes are always the first things on our minds.
That being said, within the next few days, users of our toolbar should see some changes. While these are not sweeping changes that will drastically change our toolbar’s objectives, they should improve the toolbar’s value to our user. The most noted change will be to our BLOG feed button. We plan to add a notification function to the button that will let our users know when a new post has been made to our blog. The notification function will work much like an e-mail inbox. When a new post is made to our blog, your toolbar will let you know that you have a new “message” waiting with some text beside the BLOG button. Clicking on the BLOG button when you see this message will be just like checking your inbox. Messages/posts from Where2LookOnline will be displayed in sequence from newest to oldest. Once this new function is added, we will send a message/post immediately so our users will know that it’s available. Since we update our blog with posts quite frequently, we believe that this new function will help our users get every message and keep them from missing out on anything.
Another small change will be made to our Travel Deals button. Unfortunately, we will be removing the option to compare prices on travel deals from VacationCompare.com sometime between now and the end of February due to their affiliate program being terminated. As they will no longer be offering their service to affiliates, we will no longer be able to provide it as an option to our users that are looking to find Travel Deals. However, users will still have access to search the Best Travel Deals from all of our other current Travel partners.
The last change at this time, will be the removal of the Gadgets, Games and Tools button from our toolbar. Through testing and user feedback, it has been determined this button was not used enough by our users, nor did it fit well within the theme of our toolbar. As space on our toolbar is very valuable, we will be looking at other options in the future to replace this button.
As we stated earlier, from time to time it is necessary for us to make changes to our price comparison toolbar in order to stay at the forefront of functionality and customer service. We assure you that none of these changes are ever made without serious discussion and they are always made with the benefits to our users in mind. We hope you like them and would love to hear your comments. Please feel free to post them here.
Note: Toolbar users using our Internet Explorer version should check with us frequently to ensure they are using the most recent version.
Upgrade to the most recent version.
