Founded by entrepreneur Stephen Heise, StreetPrices is a shopping search engine and price comparison website. Initially, StreetPrices focused on giving users great tools to find deals on cameras and electronics. Today, StreetPrices covers all types of products, but we've kept our focus on technological innovation, so you have the tools you need to get the best price on every purchase. What tools? We invented price graphs and price alerts in 1998, so you can spot trends and buy at the optimal time. Since then, we've pioneered "search by specs", a "search tree" for drilling down into your search results, personalization tools including private stickynotes, and a "window shopper" for browsing the best Christmas toys. Our team is made up of search industry folks with experience in massively parallel text search, DNA sequence matching, and the Netscape Open Directory Project.
