Best Buy Remix

Best Buy Remix is an API [Application Programming Interface] Project based on Best Buy's product catalog data. It was founded by Kevin Matheny, Best Buy's senior eBusiness architect, in September 2008.

According to Internet Retailer, Best Buy is currently demonstrating ConsumersPrice.com - a site where consumers can request alerts of future Best Buy product pricing, and subsequently record voice reviews of products. ConsumersPrice.com is run by Ribbit, a company acquired by BT last Summer.

As Internet Retailer explains, a shopper looking for a product will be able to enter a preferred price on a specific product configuration and request an SMS or email alert whenever the product becomes available at or below the preferred price. Various social media like Twitter, Flickr and others are also available on this site.

ConsumersPrice.com is still in its beta test period.
