Pricenoia is back!

Pricenoia is up! Enjoy it! Amazon EC2 powered.

Server down, again

Looks like Infinology, own current (for little time) hosting provider for Pricenoia is dead... not the server, but the COMPANY!! Amazing..

Well, until we solve the issue and migrate to a new server (probably on Amazon EC2) please be patient. Once in the new server, there won't be more issues of this kind.

As an extra, we'd like to announce that we are planning a new upgraded version of Pricenoia, developed on RoR. We'll keep informing from this blog!

Thank you for your support!

Server problems

We've had some problems with the server in the last days, and solving them is taking longer than expected. Sadly, Pricenoia is down in the meanwhile, but not dead!! :)

They talk about Pricenoia

Lately there have been several sites that have talked about Pricenoia, cool!

- Lifehacker

And many others.. thank you again! We will try to return the interest with new features.. stay tunned..

New feature: Other formats and editions

A new little feature is available at Pricenoia when comparing books, expanding the info offered by Amazon itself.

Until now, when looking at a book, Pricenoia listed similar products, using Amazon recommendations. We've now added a list of up to 10 other formats and editions of the compared book. You can find older printings, paperback editions of a hardcover book, editions in other languages, audiobooks, and some other interesting things.

Some of the books are available new at Amazon, and some of them are old editions that can only be bought used or from third parties (always at Amazon, of course).

For example: One hundred years of solitude, from Gabriel García Marquez.

This new feature uses the xISBN webservice offered by Worldcat. Great stuff!

Firefox search plugins

You can now add a Pricenoia search to your firefox search box. Credits go to Juanjo Bazan!

There are two plugins, one for Books and one for DVD search, both searching at ALL Amazon stores.

Get them here!

Pricenoia turns one year old

Many people ask us for how long Pricenoia has been around. Well, as of today, for one full year!

In one year we've been discovered by lots of smart Amazon customers that use Pricenoia on a regular basis. We would like to thank them for sharing the word with friends, post on their blogs or link to Pricenoia when refering to a book online. But don't stop, we need your help spreading the word! :)

Lots of ideas are on the way of being new features, we hope you'll like them as much as we do!
