Chrome Add-on: BookmarkMatic for Shoppers Version 5.0.2013.1207 Released

BookmarkMatic for Shoppers (BMfS) extension was created with one mission in mind: to save online shoppers’ effort and time spent on saving and organizing favorite shopping links as bookmarks.  So far BMfS was able to automatically sorts and categorizes shopping sites from browsing history, but that’s not enough.   We understand that shoppers needs capability to drill down into any shopping site and be able sort the links by visit frequency or visit time, we just released this feature in the version 5.0.2013.1207.

Chrome Add-on: BookmarkMatic for Shoppers (aka Shopping Button) Version 3.3.2013.1123 Released

Here comes another release packed with exciting changes: new name, new logo and exciting new features added to site menu.  Starting from this version, this tool has adopted a new name: BookmarkMatic for Shoppers.  As the key value of this tool is to automatically create bookmark for shoppers, we feel BookmarkMatic for Shoppers name reflects that feature in a more direct and easy-to-understand way than the previous name.  Hopefully it’s not too difficult to pronounce for you.  We are also adopting a beautiful black bookmark icon, thank you VisualPharm for the great design.

New features

Automatically categorized shopping sites.  Manually created browser bookmarks are usually organized and categorized.   In this version, BookmarkMatic is making the first step of categorizing sites automatically.  All shopping sites you visited can be either viewed in 1 list or filtered from 1 of 7 pre-set major categories: Online Shopping, Local Shopping, Shopping Guide, Travel, Online Betting, Real Estate and Cars.

Sort sites in 1 of 3 ways.  How links are sorted is important in manually created bookmarks since it determines how convenient each link can be accessed.  In this version, BookmarkMatic introduces 3 sorting orders to automatically sort any list of sites: Visit Frequency, Visit Time or Site Names (alphabetic A-Z).

A litter more than a month after release of Shopping Button 2.0, we are releasing version 3.0, the evolution of Shopping Button software is catching up the speed of Moore’s law.    Even though the previous version took almost 12 x the time it took to build this version, the change we are making in version 3.0 is about 12x more drastic than version 2.0, life is indeed full of dramas.

Starting from this version, this Chrome Extension will start to help you manage and organize your online shopping traces in your browser history.  Shopping Button monitors your browser history, every time when you click on its toolbar button, it pops up the most updated list of your recently visited shops, with the most recent one on the top.  With this simple tool, organizing and revisiting your recently visited shops is easier than ever.

Shopping Button currently supports ~400 and growing number of top-tier online shopping destinations in United States, China, United Kingdom, Canada, France, Germany and Belgium.  These shops also include travel booking sites and local deal providers.  We are working hard to expand the coverage and target to include top 1000 shops worldwide by end of 2013.
