I just read about DoubleClick being acquired for 3.1 billion by Google. Coincidentally I met Kevin Ryan, co-founder of DoubleClick, earlier today. These days he’s involved in several startups, he showed me a cool demo of one called ShopWiki. It’s a shopping search engine that indexes everything, not just paid feeds like Shopping.com does, and you can do cool stuff like search by color and neat range stuff.

Hey, what a cool guy. He’s very involved with human rights and international health. I really like to see folks like Ryan make good because they recognize that with wealth and success you can make the world a better place. Good for him.

I love the interface of the SERPs pages at ShopWiki when you hover and see the available stores. Nice.

What an amazing deal! From what I’ve read, Google seemed to pick DoubleClick up to keep MS from getting it. Whatever works!

I think it would have been more interesting if we could learn what his position and opinion on the recent Google acquisition of DoubleClick is.

Hey Matt
FYI, Kevin Ryan did not co-found DoubleClick. DCLK was founded by Kevin O’Connor and Dwight Merriman. Kevin Ryan came in later when they needed a seasoned CEO to run the business. Kind of like Larry and Sergey recruited Eric Schmidt, only in a slightly different world….

I like the shopwiki… especially the slider bar.
That being said, it looks kinda like an amateur site design.
