Ugenie - unlock hidden savings
17 Oct 2006Ugenie is next generation shopping site. A friend of mine from Yahoo! Bangalore joined Ugenie some months back, that's how I got to know about it. But now they have launched but registration/access is by invitation only.
I received an invitation to register at Ugenie. I noticed good user-interface, usable site and like the way it does comparison and present that's good. I would say overall good-experience. I am sure you would also notice once it's open for everyone. Meanwhile, I would keep quite and wait for the day when I can write more.
