Iconoculture: Tired of sifting through the bargain bins for a great deal? Try Slifting instead. Slifter is a free mobile phone application that enables users to search for products at both online and brick-and-mortar retailers.
Simply key in your zip code and Slifter does the searching part of shopping for you.
The program has a database of more than 85 million products, and the company recently added Best Buy and CompUSA to its system. The chief complaint? Relevance. Slifter inventory data isn't always updated and its long lists of products can overwhelm many users, especially on their small cellphone screens.
Most tech-savvy consumers love the idea of searching brick-and-mortar stores electronically. Almost-instant gratification was never so enticing.
