MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–TheFind, Inc., the leading shopping search engine and web destination for discovering lifestyle goods, today announced multiple new features enabling a richer and more targeted shopping experience. The following four new features – launched today – have arrived just in time for the holiday shopping season:

Looking for distinctive gifts, and need to see only products from unique boutiques? Just want to see what’s available at the major department stores? Now, with TheFind.com’s Mini-Malls, you can! The new Mini-Mall feature now lets consumers search and quickly see just the matching products from a select group of stores – you can choose from Boutiques, Department Stores, Mall Stores & National Retailers or The Marketplace, which turns up results from online marketplaces like eBay.

Sample Mini-Mall searches:

    * Diamond earrings from boutiques
    * Crib bedding from mall stores
    * Cashmere sweater from department stores

Want to spend a day shopping in Beverly Hills or New York City – but don’t live nearby? Introducing virtual shopping districts! TheFind.com has created special Mini-Malls that bring fashion hot spots Rodeo Drive and 5th and Madison directly to consumers across the country. Online shoppers simply select the Rodeo Drive tab or the 5th and Madison tab located at the top of the search results, and the products from just the retailers that have storefronts in these exclusive regions will instantly be shown. Consumers can effectively shop these high-profile destinations from the comfort of their own home or office – regardless of where they physically reside.

Sample Rodeo Drive and 5th and Madison searches:

    * Cropped Jacket on Rodeo Drive
    * Tunic on 5th and Madison

Interested in more product information, or products related to your chosen item? New mouse-over product page display delivers!

TheFind.com has also enhanced its mouse-over page, which appears when you drag your mouse over any product displayed in the results. The mouse-over page now shows all the product specific information at a glance, without the consumer having to click through to another Web site. In addition, mouse-over page also shows shoppers related products, such as a matching purse, shoes, and/or bracelet, which the store also recommends. Finally, merchants have a targeted advertising location at the bottom of the mouse-over to include sale notifications and money-saving coupons, as well as links directly to the retailer’s site.

Making a List, Checking It Twice? MyFinds enhancement adds personalization with simplified shopping list management!

Continuing the quest to deliver the simplest, most comprehensive and personalized shopping experience, TheFind.com will now offer even more search personalization via its newly expanded capabilities of the MyFinds bar. Users will now have their “recent searches,” “recently viewed” items, and “recently saved” items all housed within the MyFinds bar, which serves as a powerful bookmarking tool for busy holiday shoppers. Search now, save items for later. Users can also email items from the items in MyFinds to friends and family, creating a perfect tool for shoppers to share products and lists throughout the holidays.

“Our core belief is that our shopping search engine should give consumers access to the full scope of what is available from all the online stores, but without having to sift through hundreds of search results that don’t fit their needs. We’re continually enhancing this process for shoppers – adding new features, search categories and simple ways for them to share their finds with friends and family,” said Siva Kumar, CEO of TheFind, Inc. “Shopping online is supposed to save time and energy, especially around the holidays, and we’re here to make sure that is always the case when it comes to pinpointing the right products from the right store for each shopper.”

TheFind.com crawls more than 500,000 stores on the Web to find more than 200 million products across all shopping categories. Its unmatched Web search ability includes access to unique and hard-to-find boutiques, brand stores and hip, must-have products. TheFind.com’s objective approach offers shoppers search results which are ranked by natural popularity, instead of offering results influenced by paid placements.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–TheFindGreen, the leading shopping search engine specifically devoted to finding eco-conscious and green products, today announced that it has launched a campaign to benefit a leading environmental charity. For the next four weeks, eco-friendly consumer searches on the TheFindGreen that include the word “green” will generate $1 per search for Global Green USA and support the organization’s newly launched membership campaign.

Josie Maran Cosmetics, a Global Green supporter and innovative cosmetics company dedicated to developing environmentally responsible beauty alternatives, has also endorsed the charitable campaign. Model, actress, and Josie Maran Cosmetics founder, Josie Maran, has penned an open letter to TheFindGreen consumers highlighting the importance of making ecologically sound shopping decisions in today’s world.

TheFindGreen, launched by TheFind, Inc. in September 2007, is a shopping search engine that offers consumers quick and easy access to green-friendly fashion, home, and lifestyle items, each of which has been created through practices and materials that promote the conservation and preservation of the earth’s natural resources.

“Global Green has been a tremendous educator about the current crises that face the environment, and we are honored to benefit such a well-respected charitable organization,” said Siva Kumar, CEO of TheFind, Inc. “Simple choices and changes in our daily living and purchasing habits can have a marked, positive impact on the environment, and via ‘Color for a Cause’ can simultaneously benefit a strong, green charity. Through TheFindGreen, we’re making it easier than ever to change the way we live simply by choosing responsible products, and we’re thrilled to support Global Green, which clearly encompasses like-minded ideals.”

TheFindGreen is encouraging consumers to support Global Green USA by choosing products across the lifestyle category – such as beauty, household products, fashion and sustainable furniture – that preserve and protect the environment.

Global Green supporter Josie Maran recently launched her own cosmetics line, Josie Maran Cosmetics – now available on TheFindGreen. Each product in her line has been developed using ecologically conscious materials and processes, representing precisely the type of innovative, green-friendly, health & beauty alternative that TheFindGreen shoppers are seeking.

"I’m thrilled to be involved in TheFindGreen’s Color for a Cause Campaign to benefit Global Green USA. Anything to raise awareness about the importance of the ‘green’ movement is effort well spent," said Maran.

TheFindGreen’s “Color for a Cause” Initiative will run through December 7th, 2008. Consumers simply need to visit www.TheFindGreen.com and search for anything using the word “green” – some sample searches that will result in the donation include:

    * Green jackets
    * Green lotion
    * Green tea
    * Green jewelry
    * Green soap

Sorry, I’ve digressed. If you perform any searches on thefind.com, then you know that we’ve been raising money for Susan G Komen for the Cure by donating $1 for each pink search performed everyday (one per person, per day). TheFind is a very community-centric company and we’re really vested in doing good things and raising money for great causes. As I mentioned at the beginning of this post, I stumbled upon this dinner party idea and thought it would be fun for Mother’s Day. I was thrilled to find out that this also benefits the Susan G Komen Breast Cancer Foundation!

The Cook for the Cure site is great! They give you all the tools you need to plan and organize your party: invitations, recipes, menus, coordinating donations and more. I’m thinking about planning a dinner party for both Mothers and Fathers along with their children to celebrate a Mother’s Day and Father’s Day   together. What do you think?

Get into the spirit with some pink and white decorations. There are quite a few pink ribbon decorations that you can use the set the tone for the party.

Happy Partying/Searching/Shopping,
Payton

So, I started the day off shopping for a girls pink dress for my neice. Then, I remembered that I need a new wallet. I thought it would be fun to check out the pink wallets. From there, I went on a kitchen gadget tangent…I was thinking about all the cool colors that the Kitchen Aid Mixers come in, so I searched for pink kitchen aid and found all kinds of fun (pink) stuff! I found a pink Kitchen Aid 5-speed blender, pink Kitchen Aid toaster, pink Kitchen Aid food processors, and more.

Since I had so much fun with the pink kitchen gadgets, I thought I’d check out pink furniture. What a kick! I think my neice would really enjoy her own pink upholstered rocker and ottoman (it’s a lot like her Dad’s). Too cute!

Anyway, as you can see, shopping in the pink can be a lot of fun. Give it a try and let me know what you find!

Happy Pink Searching/Shopping,
Paytong

We will keep this going – we’ve heard from so many of you about the next
charity we should benefit – thank you.  Keep it coming.  Let’s lead a new
generation of companies that work to benefit a consumer need
(comprehensive shopping search) and a philanthropic one (because we can -
and should).

Thanks all,
Larisa
