KillerApp.com is an Internet company based in Fremont, CA founded on July 3, 1995 by Ben Chiu. The company operates a comparison shopping site (a.k.a. price engine) designed to enable people to research "what" and "where" to buy computers online. The company differentiated itself from its competitors at the time by normalizing same products (that appear under different names) and including detailed specs, user reviews and personalization features. Originally, the service was called The Computer Price Cruncher before adopting the KillerApp moniker and killerapp.com domain name in late 1995.

  • KillerApp.com is an Internet company based in Fremont, CA founded on July 3, 1995 by Ben Chiu. The company operates a comparison shopping site (a.k.a. price engine) designed to enable people to research "what" and "where" to buy computers online. The company differentiated itself from its competitors at the time by normalizing same products (that appear under different names) and including detailed specs, user reviews and personalization features. In 1999 KillerApp was acquired by CNET Networks in a stock swap valued at 54 million USD. The employees and technology were rolled into CNET's commerce services group and the killerapp.com website has been integrated into CNET Shopper.com. The word killer app is an abbreviation of killer application. It describes any application that creates a sustained market for a promising but under-utilized technology (in this case, software that uses the Internet to enable people to find the best price for any given product). Originally, the service was called The Computer Price Cruncher before adopting the KillerApp moniker and killerapp.com domain name in late 1995.
