Do you have unused CDs that you want to throw away? Ever thought about how much money you will be spending to buy CDs that you REALLY want? Let’s face it, everybody likes music. It’s universal. Being a part of our lives, CDs we own are bound to be plenty. The question is, what do we do to those CDs we don’t listen to anymore? And the answer is Lala.

Lala is a web2.0 ajax-based online CD trading service with a twist. Lala lets you trade your CDs for only $1 (plus $0.75 shipping). Once you decide to start trading, you only pay for CDs you really want. There are no hidden costs or monthly fees. The number of CDs you receive will depend on how many CDs you ship to other members. Here’s how it works: Simply list the CDs you own on your “Have” List and the CDs you’d like to receive or your “Want” List. Whenever there’s a member that wants your CDs listed in your “Have” list, you can send him your CD for free. Lala will provide you with prepaid envelopes for the shipping. When you agree to ship a CD, Lala tells you who to address it to, and you simply drop it in the mail. Lala will then find members that have the CDs you want, and have them shipped to you. For each CD received from other members, you will only pay the $1 (plus $ 0.75 shipping charges). The number of CDs you receive will depend on how many CDs you ship to other members. Also, for faster trading process, you will need to list as many CDs as you can for your “Want” list. Since Lala matches what you want with other’s have, it will take longer time if you only list below 10 CDs (more than 2 weeks) and faster if you have plenty (> 50 CDs is less than a week).

Overall, Lala has an easy to use interface, a great clean design, and an extensive database of various artists and albums to choose from. The idea that Lala has is certainly unique. And, it’s legal as well, since only original CDs are being traded. You get to keep every CDs you received from other members. You can also buy CDs directly from them, which is quite nice, if you don’t like to trade CDs. Lala is sure is a nice way to obtain CDs we want for a low cost.

Buying multiple items at online stores can be tricky sometimes. We need to go to each shops and compare the prices ourselves. Not to mention that there are literally hundreds (if not thousands) of online shops out there on the internet. If you’re wondering if there’s any way to simplify that process, you’re in luck. Right now, there’s Ugenie.

Ugenie is a powerful shopping service that delivers maximum possible savings to its customers. In a single click, Ugenie can find the best price for a bundle of items, including shipping, taxes, coupons and discounts. The engine uses advanced computer science and mathematics, and extensive experience in e-commerce and search to create a superior shopping experience that improves not just the price-comparison aspect but product selection, product discovery, as well as convenience. Ugenie users are already seeing significant savings.

The magic of Ugenie’s bundles is the freedom to pick out any combination of items you want, then find the cheapest way to buy the whole bundle. Ugenie cherry-picks the best deals from hundreds of merchant sites, factoring in discounts and additional charges, finding you the lowest bottom-line price. You place your order directly from the merchants Ugenie finds for you, and Ugenie never charges you a penny.

Overall, Ugenie has a clean and easy to use interface, Web 2.0 features (such as pop-up screens showing details of a selected item), a virtual coupon-gathering mechanism, and a user-generated tagging facility. WorlTechLogic has made some previous posts regarding Ecommerce services, such as Modoshi, ZeeDive , or DealTagger. But none has the ability to shop multiple items from different stores, not to mention the ability to find the BEST deal while at it. It is clearly the unique feature of Ugenie, and there’s no question that Ugenie is the best at it so far.

Finding the right online deal takes effort. You find a deal, purchase it and move-on. Everybody repeats this process over and over. It’s a tiring circle when it comes to finding the right products we want, with the quality we expect. Purchasing products online is not without its share of the problems. What if the products we buy are not the ones we expected it to be? What if there’s a better bargain at some other places? What if? Well, not anymore with Modoshi.

Modoshi is a next generation shopping community that helps consumers by channeling their collective intelligence towards saving money. It provides you with the technology to make it easy to share shopping related information. The name “Modoshi” itself is derived from the Japanese word meaning giving back. The Modoshi website does not sell anything and is absolutely free to use.

Modoshi started on the premise with a question: “What if there was a place where people could share what they found and others could just buy using their deal posted”. So, a neighbor could post that cool digital camera that he found so that his neighbors and relatives could just purchase it. A grandson could help his grandpa by doing research about the right LCD TV to buy, and instead of picking up the phone or passing the info in an email, just post it to Modoshi. And likewise, any community member could help a shopper save.

Then comes the true incentive for deal posters to participate: Modoshi will pay the original posters of the products. So, now, the neighbor and the grandson is getting paid for finding the right toys or camera or LCD Monitor. And likewise, any member posting a deal and helping other shoppers save, will get rewarded. And for shoppers, Modoshi goes that extra mile to make sure that shoppers have all information at their discretion. All content posted is verified and re-verified. With help of the community, Modoshi identifies that two items with a slightly different name at two merchants’ site are actually the same. For every item posted, Modoshi identifies ‘New Low’ and price-history across all merchants. The shopper gets to vote on deals and help others identify good deals. All items are grouped together to optimize buying decision. Modoshi computes ‘deal rank’ for every deal, by a sophisticated algorithm based on the merchant, item, current price, average price, past-low price and the performance of a deal.

Modoshi has indeed taken the shopping experience to a higher level. The idea of letting people post products they buy itself is an excellent one, not to mention giving back (hence the name, “Modoshi“) to the posters their part of the contributions to the online community. Be sure to check out Modoshi for better prices on products, or you can create your own Modoshi account by clicking HERE!

ZeeDive is a new way of shopping; enhanced by web 2.0 / ajax components. Unlike other E-Shop sites, ZeeDive (in Private BETA phase) has an interesting twist on the standard online buying method. ZeeDive sets a top price for an item and drops (or “dives”) it steadily until time runs out or someone buys it. ZeeDive calls the final price the “Catch Price“, which is defined as “The final dollar amount that a buyer caught their too-good-to-be-true item“. Buyers can step in at any time and make a purchase (”Live Catch“), or set a Catch Price. If the item falls to that price, that buyer gets it.

Here is basically how ZeeDive works:

Several glossaries of ZeeDive are:

Dive
The way prices plunge every second to let you snag outrageous deals on thousands of hot items (Example: Unbelievable! You rode that dive until the very last second!)

Flash Dive
Lightning-quick dive for a super hot item, usually lasting only a few hours, so you’d better act fast. You’ll know it when you see this icon (Example: I gotta call you back in 5. There”s a flash dive on)

Live Catch
Catch it right away at this special price. The person with the fastest clicking finger wins. You’ll know it when you see this icon: (Example: After the Live Catch, he was one Jimi Hendrix album richer)

Nab a Catch
To “catch it now” mere minutes before a red-hot item is about to be caught by someone else. (Example: Hey, someone just nabbed my catch!)

No Minimum
Most dives have a minimum price, and the dive will crash if it reaches its minimum price without being caught. But not with these babies! The price will dive, dive, and keep diving until some lucky person catches it. You’ll know it when you see this icon: ( Example: Those flash dives with no minimum dive hard and fast. Who knew this could be so thrilling?!)

ZeeDive is currently in its Private BETA phase, and is already looking as a very promising new E-Shop Website startup. You can request for an account HERE!
