The images says it all. 7.3 billion pages, folks. Is that a mistake by Google? Last time I checked, we have a few million items at TicTap only.

Attention Authors & Sellers! Track Prices and Sales Rank with 109things.

Thursday, December 6th, 2007

I’ve just launched a new shopping site that you might call a ’simpler TicTap’. It’s called 109things.

It doesn’t work for small screen devices and screen readers. But it has an AJAX interface to ensure that you do less work.

It also has the innovative currency converter, email alerts. But 2 of its coolest features are bound […]

Amazon Unbox Widget Is Super Cool!

Friday, September 21st, 2007

The Amazon Unbox service is a video-on-demand service that allows you to buy and rent videos from a selection of more than 10,000 movie and TV titles. You can download them your Tivo via the internet or download them to your computer and watch them there.

An Update to the Adsense Experiment on TicTap

Friday, September 21st, 2007

We’ve been running Adsense on TicTap for the past month.

The results have been mediocre, and in fact the ads have been irritating for some users.

Most of our users reach TicTap from search engines. We’ve learnt that they want information, not more ads.

So we’ve decided to remove quite a bit of ads, and replaced them with […]

TicTap SMS is no more. Long Live TicTap

Tuesday, August 21st, 2007

After months of struggling, we’ve shut down the SMS service.

It simply wasn’t profitable, and we had numerous problems with the network operator.

Today, we relaunched TicTap. It has a simpler interface, and we’ve removed features that weren’t popular with users. The cool things you’ve come to expect from TicTap are still there, such as:

1)Cluster search
2)Search results […]

TicTap + Amazon Price Drop Policy = Instant Cash Back!

Wednesday, January 10th, 2007

Did you know that Amazon.com has a price drop policy?

What they do is credit you the difference if the price of an item you bought in the last 30 days has dropped. You only have to ask for the credit.

But you need to know if the price has dropped right? That’s where TicTap’s Price […]

Are Star Ratings on Amazon.com Harmful?

Wednesday, October 18th, 2006

There is a discussion in the Amazon ECS forum about negative reviews hurting book sales.

That lead me to wonder if people actually read reviews. Or do they look at the stars and read those reviews with many stars or only 1 star? Or even worse, do they make a decision to purchase based on the […]

Alternate Formats for Books

Monday, October 9th, 2006

TicTap now shows alternate formats for books, if they exist.

With this feature, it is easy to check if your favourite book (in hardcover) is also available in paperback, audio CD, and even MP3.

Try this Rich Dad, Poor Dad book for an example.

News Hawker - Fast. Seriously Geeky. Know It All

Saturday, September 23rd, 2006

This is a shameless plug for a project I’ve been working on during my free time.

I read a lot of news everyday, and I’ve been wondering why I have to visit 10+ sites to read them.

I could use a RSS reader, but it doesn’t fulfill some of my needs.

So I went to build a tool […]
