Ciao is currently pushing hard to penetrate the US market. They have just launched their new beta site, which is their answer for the US market. For a first glimps, take a look on: www.ciao.com.

This new design follows the other redesigns of big comparison engine (which I wrote about in an earlier blog post). Probably a usability expert told all these CSE’s that the categories should be displayed on the left-hand side, haha.
