Rumor - IAC Launching Shopping Comparison Engine

by Brian Smith, on May 25th, 2005

Anonymous sources in the internet marketing space tell me that IAC/InterActive Corp is hiring tech and biz dev people to join a project called Red Carpet - which apparently will be a new comparison shopping engine. Planned rollout is for Q4 2005. This is just a rumor right now. I contacted IAC for more information 2 days ago, and my contact is still looking into it. I will continue to investigate and tell you more as I hear additional news. If anyone out there can tell me anything about Red Carpet, please contact me (all correspondence will be kept anonymous).
