[ClickPress, Wed Aug 15 2007] Researching products on the web is a time-consuming and confusing process because you just don't know who to trust that's the conclusion of a real-life walkthrough on how to research video games by social shopping website Crowdstorm.
In the study into the psychology of shopping published on the Crowdstorm blog it took 2.5 hours to research a single video game (Overlord, Xbox 360). Even then, the various opinions on the game varied widely, leaving the consumer little better off than reading the video game box itself.
Philip Wilkinson, CEO of Crowdstorm, commented:
"What other people think clearly plays a huge part in most purchase decisions, video games in particular. The missing link online is that you just don't know who to trust what you really want are reviews from friends and experts.
"Crowdstorm is designed to fill that gap. Crowdstorm is a world of experts', where you make better informed purchase decisions based on the crowd's advice and recommendations. Your crowd includes the most trusted and knowledgeable people on the web."
