The community creates and maintains concise product reports that include a mix of objective description information, and subjective opinions and reviews. Product categories are focused on regular consumer products such as electronics and housewares, but does extend to other categories such as software and notable websites. First launched in the fall of 2005, the website has undergone many upgrades and is one of the largest stand-alone wikis on the web.

Pros
- Public version of Consumer Reports!
- Supports OpenID logins
- Not just another mediawiki- or phpbb-based site
- ProSCORE is a surprisingly accurate new way of measuring how "good" a product is - better than 5-star system
- Better than porn
- Can be addictive (I don't think being an addictive website is a "Con")
- Collaborative Pros/Cons is very effective and unique way to review a product
- Public version of Consumer Reports!
- dialupinternetuser
Cons
- Can't sort by love/have/want within categories
- Not a large enough user base
- Categories (other than active) not easily navigable from home page
- Search function needs improvement
- Retailers (like small independents) who don't pay for Shopping.com listings are at a disadvantage
