    Sccope update

    I'm merely an off-the-record unoffical commenter on the situation at this piont, but there's been another article about Sccope entirely un-initiated by us. The small-ish tech new site Pocket-lint probably picked up on the story from the Times article I posted yesterday...
    A new price comparison service, Sccope, has launched that claims to let users find out the lowest prices of products wherever and whenever they are shopping.
    Sccope claims to get users the latest and lowest prices on their mobile or online in just a few clicks.
    I'd love to give some unnoficial numbers out on how many people visited the site and used the SMS service, but I'm probably not allowed. What I probably can say is that we're working hard on improvements to Sccope, rolling out updates to the service as often as we can. And currently, that's more than you'll hear from anywhere else.
     
    In the meantime, feel free to test out the Sccope website and SMS service (texts can be sent to 62555, standard network fees apply). Both work brilliantly for specific searches like "ipod touch 32gb" and I'd certainly appreciate the feedback to take to the rest of the team.
     
    UPDATE: Shortly after posting I found probably the best article so far on Sccope at 160Characters.org, a news organisation specialising in mobile services.

    Sccope

    I wouldn't normally link to this sort of article, but "Join The Rush To Be A Bargain Hunter".

    If you are on the high street, you could take advantage of a new bargain-hunting service called Sccope. This searches the cost of a particular item in high-street stores and then tells you where you can find the best price.

    You text 62555 with your specific product request to receive the latest prices back to your handset. For example, if you are looking for a Tefal kettle, you text “Tefal kettles” to 62555 and you get a reply with three options: 1. Tefal XH 500104, 2. Tefal Express Diamond Element Stainless and 3. Tefal Quick Cup.

    If the Tefal Quick Cup is the one you want to buy, you reply and text 3. It then replies telling you the best price is at John Lewis at £47.95, but Tesco Direct is the most expensive at £55.00. Texts are charged at your normal rate.

    I should also mention the website for Sccope. The South Carolina Coalition for Obesity Prevention Efforts are going to be getting more hits than normal today.
