50 Best Websites 2008

Handy Tools

NexTag

Article Tools

It may be the plainest comparative-shopping site on the Web, but we like NexTag because of its speedy, comprehensive search results and integrated product reviews. Sure, there are plenty of other good comparison sites out there, including BizRate, Shopzilla and Yahoo! Shopping, but we dig NexTag for its no-nonsense approach that's all about finding you the best deal. And unlike its competitors, NexTag graphs the price history of each product you research, so you can see if prices have gone up or down in recent months.
