Save Money with My Mashup/Coding Project (Featured on Programmable Web)

My Coding and Side Project, SaveOnAtoZ.com was recently featured on Programmable Web a few weeks back. It simply appeared on the front page. I did not have time to write a blurb on it then, but I wanted to write it down as one of my accomplishments. Programmable web features a list of API's and their corresponding web "Mashups". Mashups are defined as
a mashup is a web application that combines data from more than one source into a single integrated tool; an example is the use of cartographic data from Google Maps to add location information to real-estate data from Craigslist, thereby creating a new and distinct web service that was not originally provided by either source.
- Wikipedia

What is Save On A To Z? Well the goal is to save money on everything. Simply speaking, the site connects to various apis and helps you conduct product searches based on keywords. The different result sets are segmented and / or listed on the same page according to your preferences. You can bookmark and compare the items side to side. The result sets can be loaded in to the same page via ajax.

The results are drawn from Amazon, Ebay, Half, Shopzilla, Buy.com, Best Buy, Shop.com, Google Base (Formerly Froogle), Nextag, Sortprice, MSN just to name a few of the engines. You can seriously check across all these sites within a few seconds. In addition, I am always expanding the result sets.

My goal is to provide you one of the most comprehensive resources for comparing prices and saving you money. With today's economy in a downward spiral and gas prices rising, we need to be sure that we are saving as much money as possible.

I hope you find my project useful. You can visit it here. If you can bookmark it on a social site, share it with friends, or link it in your blog, i would be most grateful. Thanks for reading. Hope this saves you a lot of money!

My Current Web Project : Mashup Galore on SAVEonAtoZ.com

Look through multiple search engines, price comparison Engines, and other resources we can find.
Save Money On Everything: SAVEOnAtoZ.com

I am always working on adding new resources to help you find a better price including multiple comparison sites, meta search engines... its like meta^2.

The mashup features results from Amazon, Ebay, Half, Google Base, MSN, Shopzilla, Nextag and a few more resources as well. You can compare side by side in your shopping list and bookmark them for later. I have spent a lot of time on this project just learning how to use APIs and pulling the results from different locations, so I hope my efforts are not in vain.

I hope it saves everyone an incredible amount of money!
thanks for looking and please take some time to visit SAVEonAtoZ
thanks!
