About Pikimal:
Unlike search engines, Pikimal mines data to provide users with only the facts pertaining to their search, as a hopeful solution to SEO and marketing biased search results. As of April 2011, Pikimal has 13 full-time employees in Pittsburgh, PA, and various contractors around the world.
Pikimal allows users to adjust sliders to express what facts of a product are particularly important to them. These percentages are combined with an algorithm to provide users with product recommendations that are rooted directly in facts, but only the facts they find most relevant.
Ultimately, this allows the service to combine user data to create templates for popular searches, suggesting things like “The Best Digital Cameras for Moms†or “The Best Cars for Snowâ€, but the lists, considering their basis in fact, are free of marketing, SEO or bias.

What do you think makes Pikimal different than other comparison sites?
Well, first of all I personally have some experience with trying to find the right product at the best price for my family before and this helps you narrow it down to what you want and what you don’t want. Other site usually just give you the price and some star rating and maybe one or two costumer reviews, that are always conflicting!

I like it. Its cute and friendly. Love the little stick people and video is so sweet..it made me what to dive right in and look for cameras! 🙂
