- pmikal 17y agoremember epinions?
- timcederman 17y agoYup. But it has too strong an emphasis on shopping, listing prices, etc, and lacks a clean hierarchy. Too many duplicates, and not enough reviews, e.g. http://www.epinions.com/search/?submitted_form=searchbar&search_string=d630&tax_name=&dyn_nav=0&dyn_nav_id=&search_vertical=all&searchbar_submit=Search http://www.epinions.com/search/?submitted_form=searchbar&... I'd love something with a Yelp-esque interface that allows me to search for any product, whether grocery item or gadget, or whatever. e.g. "I wonder what people think of the Blueberry Stonybrook yoghurt?". Previously it wouldn't be that compelling, but with mobile computing being what it is now, it could be very helpful.
- vijayr 17y agoI wish Amazon allow reviews only from people who actually bought the product
- joez 17y agoThis reminds me of http://www.gdgt.com http://www.gdgt.com Although Gdgt's focus is more on gadgets and crowd sourcing all information instead of just reviews.
