ShopWiki is a must visit online shopping search engine for various shoppers in the Internet. ShopWiki offers shoppers detailed product buying guide information to lessen shopper’s peace of mind when purchasing any product. I had been thinking of getting one LCD TV but have a lot of doubts. Thank to ShopWiki and I had made my decision to purchase a LCD TV after reading the LCD TV buying guide page in ShopWiki for this coming Christmas.
ShopWiki has the advanced Web-crawling capability technology with the combination of consumer-written wiki which offers shoppers the ease on finding product on the Internet. With ShopWiki, shoppers have the power to search everything from their 30,000 stores on the internet with easy to understand buying guides inclusive the LCD TV buying guide I read.
In the LCD TV buying guide page, I am able to learn the advantages and disadvantages of LCD TVs. You can also know what is going to come out from your pocket when purchasing the type and features of the LCD TV you wanted by reading the LCD TV buying guide page. ShopWiki also tells you what you should consider for when buying a LCD TV like screen size, resolution and the placement of your LCD TV as well. All the information in the LCD TV buying guide is very informative. As the result, ShopWiki is now my favorite product search engine.

Well, Maybank2U (aka M2U) website where it is a complete one-stop financial portal offering online services to its customers such as banking, insurance and stock broking. As a customers, I always pay bills, enquire balance and conduct other financial services transactions using M2U. And, I have been using the all new M2U website since the day one of the launching on October 16, 2008.
However, I am very upset and angry with the difficulties that I am facing while I am accessing the M2U. This new M2U website loads slower than the previous version. I prefer the old one (aka Classic) and as just a user and I don’t really look at the brand new design. Perhaps, the team in M2U should be emphasize more on the easy and simple usage of it rather than giving more steps when performing any transaction in the new M2U website. Also, I did noticed that the IP address has changed. The old IP address is 12.x.x.x and the new is 202.162.17.68. Hmm…I wonder if they have also moved data center and what is the bandwidth they are getting (access speed is like snail). I even faced system busy message from M2U.
Thankfully, the Classic version of M2U is now accessible through the new M2U main page. You can head to this all-you M2U blog to read the recent updates on the new M2U website. Blogger Danny Foo also facing the same issue. You can read his post here.
