PriceFad is a new site that lets you see the historical price trends of a particular product, to help you see if today’s price is really the best price.
The service pulls data from all over the web to accumulate the price history of particular items. You just type in the name of a product that you’re looking for, and PriceFad will give you the historical price points for that item on a graph. View by month, week or day, and see the data for a range of 1 day to a year. Toggle between average and detailed reports. You can chart the price history of two additional products for comparison purposes, which are provided in drop down boxes that list items available for you to choose from. There is also the option of having email alerts sent to you when a price changes, or you can subscribe to a product via RSS.
This site has a large amount of data for electronic items, such as GPS trackers, monitors, memory cards and television screens. This is probably due to the exacting nature of the product names. It would be additionally helpful to be able to enter the URL or other identifying mark, such as the ISBN number, to help track more products in more ways. A service like PriceFad could be a great ingredient for all sorts of mashups. Similar services include Farecast and PriceProtectr.

Campus Explorer, a search and resource tool for students, parents and counselors, has received funding from Rincon Venture Partners. Financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed.
Still in beta, Campus Explorer offers information on colleges and universities, filtered by region, area of study, type of degree, student population and several other search parameters. Search results are displayed on a Google map, and in a list format with links to the school’s profile on Campus Explorer. Additional information, from expenses to the admissions process is provided for users.
It would be great to add the ability to save searches, or implement a comparison search as well.

Google has ended its experimental Google Maps click-to-call feature, according to a Google Groups troubleshooting post.
While the Goog411 is still available to US customers, Google has decided to not move forward with the click-to-call, to the dismay of its most loyal users. Thought of as one of Google Map’s most helpful and innovative services, the click-to-call feature let you search for a location and dial it directly. Maybe someone will do a click-to-call mashup, and incorporate Google Mapplets in some fashion. Nevertheless, Google has implied that it’s working on other features to make Google Maps even better.
