Web Development and Design White Papers

Greasemonkey Hacks: Compare Book Prices

Overview When the Web was new, pundits and trade magazines hyped the possibility of agents that followed the users around online and fetched the lowest prices, or recommended similar sites, or made the coffee, or something. The hype died down quickly, but many of the best ideas have eventually resurfaced in one form or another. It turns out that most people don't actually care about some bureaucrat's idea of "Similar sites," but everybody cares about finding the lowest prices. This paper adds a floating window to online bookstores, such as Amazon.com, that shows the price for the same book on other sites.
