Meyers noted that the hottest searches on myTriggers were the new games systems, and that the site resulted in merchants selling more than 10,000 Nintendo Wii and Playstation 3 systems to consumers across the U.S. "Our unique 'persistent search' feature played a significant role in helping shoppers find these hard-to-get items and was the key differentiator in separating myTriggers from other comparison shopping sites," Meyers noted.
