Finally, if you're experiencing paralysis because of the myriad choices available to you, there are many product-review and advisor sites on the web. One in particular, Retrevo.com, stands out: It's a search engine specifically for consumer electronics. The sites formats the information it retrieves into a value map that compares features to price and breaks the products into price categories. It also judges whether the price is fair, high or a good value and tabulates the overall community opinion of the product. It also retrieves buying guides, with synopses, for product categories. Finally, Retrevo searches the Web for daily deals. Only a knowledgeable buddy or personal shopper could do more for you. -- Bill Machrone, The Wall Street Journal (January 7, 2008)
