GREENCulture blog We put the “green” in greenyness!

Green Crawler, founded by Ryan Lewis with co-founder Jacob Morris, both self-professed evolving “greenies,” will be the next big thing to hit eco-friendly merchants and products on the web. Expected to launch April 13th, 2009, the site will be a valuable resource that connects green companies with like-minded consumers searching for green alternatives to the products they already use.

The idea is quite simple. Unlike sites and services such as PriceGrabber.com and Google Products, Green Crawler is a green-only product database that catalogs a host of products supplied by online merchants in an easy to navigate and search, centralized location. Through their database, online shoppers can browse, buy, and compare specific green products of their choice without having to rummage through a more generalized product database. No longer will it require a consumer to search more in order to find what they are looking for. Green Crawler’s service is geared towards shoppers looking specifically for a niche product.

In striving to become the largest search engine for green products, Green Crawler allows any merchant that carries green alternatives to submit products free of charge, via Google Base formatted data feeds in XML and CSV/TSV files. From beauty and personal care products to household, furniture, and apparel, Green Crawler currently features over a thousand products already listed on their database. And the process of adding your products to the database is as simple as sending your formatted data feeds to info@greencrawler.com.

Green Crawler is a great new business opportunity for merchants to market green niche products and for consumers to find the product they want through a simple to use search engine.
