Yahoo was set to launch on Tuesday a beta of new Yahoo Shopping features designed to provide online shoppers with more information before making purchases and to allow people to easily share recommendations with each other.
Users can now create lists of their favorite products from the 90 million on the site and share their lists with others. Yahoo also has integrated coupons, rebates and other discounts into one location next to product listings in search results. Yahoo's Mobile Shopping beta lets shoppers use their phones to compare product prices while at brick and mortar stores.
