Product Reviews from Across the Web

If you're looking to buy a new MP3 player, camcorder, digital camera, cell phone, gaming console or other gadget-type device, you may want to check out Reviewgist first. It's a site that brings reviews from all over the Internet for a multitude of products, not just from one site like Amazon or Best Buy, etc.

Reviewgist is very thorough and provides easy-to-use comparisons and charts, along with written reviews from varied sources. For example, click on the MP3 category, choose a price range, brand, storage capacity and screen size, order results by best audio, battery life, interface, price, most recent or best overall and start looking. You'll see a variety listed with snapshot reveiws, some written reviews and an overall score. Click 'Compare Reviews' and get the bar charts, where you can hover over each category to see reviews by the likes of PCWorld, CNet, TrustedReviews and more. Choosing just one brand is a good way to find a company's offering that best fits your needs.



Swotti provides a similar service, aggregating product reviews from across the Web. Swotti is better suited to individual products but covers more territory than just consumer electronics. There seems to be a wide scope - everything from cell phones to cars. Enter your product search and Swotti searches reviews. Most come from niche areas of the Web (forums, blogs, etc.) as well as major websites. Search a product and get an overall score and results based on relevant categories. Click on the categories to get reviews on that criteria alone.
