Every day we Americans are bombarded with commercial messages. Marketers just want your money; Coco is a completely pro-consumer tool that, like the police, is intended to serve and protect the public rather than to get you to buy anything. Here’s why consumers everywhere love it:

1. It saves you money by comparing prices from many shopping sites.
2. It also helps save money by listing alternatives to buying it new (such as borrowing, renting or buying pre-owned.)
3. It helps you search many different consumer-friendly sites so you can get accurate information. You’ll avoid shoddy products and rip-offs.
4. You can use it to search locally for products or businesses in your area and see maps that will help you get there fast.
5. You can quickly check weather and traffic, and get driving directions, or even have the computer plan your bus routes.
6. It’s really easy to use: you can hover your mouse arrow over any link in Coco, and helpful text will appear to explain what the link is good for.

To use it, you only need a recent version of Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator or Firefox.  It’s been extensively tested on IE 7 and Firefox 3, and it will work nearly as well on IE 5 or Firefox 2. If you have an older browser, download an updated FireFox or Internet Explorer browser.
