Shop for me

My brother wants an external drive and he wants it NOW. There has been a drought in 320GB IDE drives here and he needs an external drive for Time Machine. So he told me this morning to go online and find the best deals in external hard drives.Problem is, I don’t know much about hunting the best deals on the net.It was Twitter to the rescue.Chris Pirillo twittered a link to his blog about online shopping.What I got from his blog post was ClayValet (“We shop for you™”), an online shopping service. I was very intrigued.I signed up and asked help for finding the “most affordable 300 to 500GB external hard drive preferably with Firewire 400 interface.”I will have my answer back in a couple of hours. The service does limit the number of requests to five per week.How does this it work? According to ClayValet the service works by sending a request to real people.

They will research it on various shopping sites and recommend a good product for you.  

The result of my query will be emailed to me.I’ll post the results later.
