These days, the web is full of great ideas that harness the power of the internet and aggregation.

Shopping is one of the tasks where the power has shifted to the consumer with shopping comparison sites and others like Wize.com which features real-life customer reviews. This size gives a consolidated score to each product in it’s database so that you have a quick understanding of a product’s worth and merits.

For example, if you’re upgrading your computer, Wize offers customer reviews as well as price comparison shopping all in one place under their motherboard reviews section. In fact there are over 200 different motherboard reviews sorted into various categories by brand, price, technology, etc.

One of the differentiators of this site that I like vs. other plain old comparison sites is that it comes with a consolidated rank for each product. Thus, if you’re not sure of the exact model yet in a given category of products, it’s easier to narrow down your search for the right one.
WizeRank uses the following 1 – 100 scale to help people figure out what to buy:
