The Deal Page seems to have the standard affiliate coupons from the major networks like CJ, Linkshare, etc. Nothing special that I see. Perhaps they plan to have special deals in the future? Or maybe I just missed them? It will be interesting to see what motivates people to participate in the site versus just using the price search features (if they find they like those over all the other pricing aggregators out there).

It looks like the development progression was a site that featured resources on a few languages and an IRC derivative and then they stuck a few shiny social "Web 2.0" features on it. Very little discussion about other topics...10 forum posts on Ajax? An anemic Webmaster discussion? These guys should be grateful for the fact that TC even reviewed them. Seriously, I'll stick to reading Slashdot, like I have been for the past 8 years. I’m underwhelmed to say the least.

Und was Natali  Del Conte auf Techcrunch berichtet, klingt gut und  erfolgsversprechend: “Users can compare prices, opinions, and reviews on various electronics. Products are tagged and users can filter through a tag cloud to find what they want. They can also filter the tags to find the reviews written by people within their social network.” Gerade der Elektronikbereich boomt ohne Ende. Seien es Handys, Flatscreens, Spielekonsolen. Und Preisvergleichsseiten haben sich mittlerweile auch gut am  Markt etabliert. Da ist es nur eine logische Konsequenz, dass es nun ein del.icio.us für den Eletronikmarkt gibt. Aufgrund dessen, dass eine Community bereits vorhanden war, muss man nicht bei null beginnen. Und die Plattform bietet alle Optionen, die ein Social Network bieten sollte.

Natali's kind of new to TechCrunch and I think maybe still a little new to writing professionally - hopefully everybody will cut her some slack while she develops her ability to write about this kind of stuff. I review systems that work like Digg are a cool idea. If the site's already getting traffic from developers, adding some interactive features to be at the pace of what users are used to is probably not a bad idea. @ Scott, thanks for clarifying.
