It doesn't work?
If I understand the idea correctly, I am supposed to use the site to find a product I want at a lower price. But when I click on the tags, I am led to a mix of various loosely related products. I clicked "wii" expecting to find the best price on a wii, but instead i get a billion wii video games and wii accessories.
I understand the drawbacks to folksonomy, but ...it undermines your entire concept.
I feel like I'm just browsing a bunch of items, which is pretty boring.
There also needs to be refinement on the product lists. It might help the vagueness problem if you had links that filtered by brand or model. Also there are lot of products that are the same price, so you might need to batch them together.
Overall a useful concept, but tons of work left to actually execute.
- bufferout 18y agoThanks for the feedback- sounds like we have some work to do around communicating the concept. I'd suggest a use case where you find a product online somewhere and fill in the three large fields on the home page with its details. This is really key to the whole "beat my price" concept. The tags are really just an overview of current popular search terms and aren't meant to be the focus of the functionality. In your "wii" example if you adjust the 'target price' slider you should see different results depending on the price of the item you're after. E.g. accessories versus an actual Wii console. Anyway, appreciate your feedback- definately take it to the team.
