Yipit Blog

We have some exciting news: A few moments ago, we released Yipit!

Here are the highlights:

• Search every NYC home furniture store for couches, beds, dining tables, bookshelves and 56 other home furniture and lighting products
• Specify the price range (from cheap to luxury), the style of furniture (modern, traditional), the material (leather, rattan, fabric), the condition (used, new) and more
• We’ve included the website of almost every store, as well as links to coverage in NY Times, NY Magazine and Apartment Therapy, and links to Yelp, NY Magazine and CitySearch profiles
• Find stores near an address, zip code or over 60 Manhattan neighborhoods including Upper East Side, Chelsea, Lower East Side

We’re 100% focused on adding more and more product and service categories, as well as new ways to interact with that data. In fact, we will never stop adding categories and features. We have a list of literally hundreds of possible features, but we wanted to let everyone start using Yipit as soon as possible. That way we can incorporate your experiences and feedback and become more and more useful. You can track our progress through the Yipit Blog or by following our twitter account.

Thanks again to everyone who gave us early feedback on Yipit. Please continue to let us know what you would like to see (from features to categories). We’re very excited about Yipit and hope we will be able to help you find the right stores selling the products you want.

Update: Just added mattresses in New York. Now you can search every showroom for the type, brand and pricing you want.
