Wize - Find out what others say before you buy
Wize has emerged as one of the better product review Web sites out there. Much like Google’s PageRank, they have a WizeRank. Unlike Google, this rank is not named after one of the founders. I guess they could have to called it Baker Rank, too bad the founder of the company did not have a last name like Review or Expert. I guess we cannot all have names that reflect our industry.
Back to the WizeRank. It is based on users reviews, expert reviews and “buzz”. I imagine there is much more too it, but it doesn’t really matter if the site provides relevant results. When searching, the rank comes up next to the results with 100 being the highest. Next to the rank, you will see if the experts liked it, if people liked it, and if people are talking about it. Once you click on the product, you will see the reviews of the product and where to buy it. Wize aggregates the reviews from shopping sites, as well as provides buying guides from other sites. Ultimately Wize is a vertical search engine, that allows people to avoid the clutter that comes from normal searches such as on Google. If you are serious about finding products fast, with good reviews and guides, Wize should be one of your destinations.
