i agree with kamikaze that wikipedia is big, but it\’s still very young and hasn\’t reached its full potential — on many topics, wikipedia is weak, but it will get better because the majority of its topics will stay relevant over the years. i like wikipedia, myself.

but shopwiki\’s topics are products and they don\’t last. nobody cares about what was written about a 2-year old product. if you can\’t buy it, you don\’t need to read about it.

and if you have to make the product generic and not cover specific model years, then you\’ve eliminated the real value. products do change year to year. if you can\’t address that, then it\’s not that useful a service.

there are product guides everywhere, and there are hardcore reviews everywhere. what\’s shopwiki bringing to the table?

i\’m sorry if i seem too cynical, but i\’ve been around the block a few times, and this one smells fishy to me.
