Finding the product that's right for you is hard. Reading thousands of reviews and picking from hundreds of products is difficult and frustrating. It takes a lot of time to make sense of all this information and find the product that fits your needs. We built Wize.com to solve this problem.

Wize gathers millions of product reviews from websites like Amazon.com, Walmart.com, and CNET. Using our proprietary technology we figure out which products are the best for how people want to use them.

Looking for a Television for "Watching Movies?" Simply tell us what you're looking for, and we'll read through all the product reviews from the Web to help you find the best product.

Want more information about products before you buy? Learn more about a product by seeing all the information, pictures, pros and cons, reviews, ways to use it, and stores to buy it.

Not sure which product to choose from? Compare the products you like using our product comparison, and find the best product that's right for you.

It's exciting to see brands being a lot more open and creative about their online advertising budgets. Feels like 2010 will be a great year on this front and we'll see lots of innovative brand ad campaigns around the Web. on February 17

Agreed. Nice to see companies moving away from PPC-to-heavy budgets and more well-rounded SEO/PPC budgets too....

im not seeing the game changer atributes. must have been the pitch that wooed Vator and the AO judges.:) wisdom of crowds is a myth. wisdom of a 5-10 experts is the only recomendation anyone will ever need.
Bambi Francisco Roizen November 20, 2008
Vator has implemented the Wize widget for product recommendations on the Vator dashboards! This is a cool new approach to advertising.
CHRIS MICHEL September 13, 2007
Wize is absolutely the best product review site on the web. The aggregation function is a truly big idea. Well done, Wize. This is going to be big.
Jimmy Wu August 02, 2007
As I spent some more time sifting through the site, I found myself sorting by Wize Rank and then looking at the price to find the best bang for the buck. Maybe you can add a feature (Wize Picks?) that automatically finds the best value via a more sophisticated algorithm.
Jimmy Wu August 02, 2007
I'm glad you made good on your promise to post a pitch because I otherwise would not have known about this nifty site. The Wize Rank feature is clever and accurate. I just used the site to find a coffeemaker!

What a little gem of a web site - an aggregator and analyzer of consumer and expert postings at relevant shopping web sites, packaged in a *very* slick and usable interface. My first try was "digital camera" - the results page is breathtakingly clearly organized, nicely displays products and prices, and most importantly highlights the consumer, expert and general "buzz" sentiment out in the cyber world. Everything is clickable, from pricing over rankings and drill-down selections to comparison screens and relevant buying guides. Now *that's* what I call Web 2.0!
