Search Engine for product reviews and rankings

Are you the type of person who does a lot of research before buying certain items? Do you try to read as many reviews as you can, check ratings charts and compare prices? I bet that takes a lot of time.

Now you no longer have to surf from one website to another to gather the information you need. Wize.com does it for you. It's a search engine for product reviews, buying guides and rankings, delivering the aggregated results all in one place.

According to the wize.com website, it "searches more than 7,151 websites, ranks almost 30,419 products and features more than a million user and expert reviews."


. . . Now that you've got a great research source, let's talk about that need to make sure you get the absolute best possible combination of features and price. Studies have shown that people who do a lot of research before buying, are apt to feel LESS satisfied with their purchases than those who settle for good enough!

Psychologist Barry Schwartz calls such people "maximizers" and attributes their dissatisfaction to having too many choices. See his article, "The Tyranny of Choice."

Take an online quiz to help determine if you are a maximiser.
