Product Clash is aiming to offer “peer reviewed product comparison in a fun way” with a site that takes Digg style voting to product grudge matches.
Product Clash has a broad library of products that registered users can clash with each other or users can also submit their own product descriptions and technical specifications via the “Submit your Clash” form.
The site launched into public beta December 1 and allows visitors to view “clashes” and the current score between two products, as well as product details with relevant technical specifications. Registered users can vote, add comments, use the clash widget on their blog and submit new clashes. There’s also a Facebook application here.
It’s perhaps not the most exciting site I’ve reviewed this year, but it seems well implemented and may well provide some fun for those who like matchups. The team at Product Clash is giving away two iPhones during December, one to a random user on the site and one to the user who gets the highest number of friends to use the Facebook application; if you’re one of many (I’m not) who love adding Facebook applications this is at least a little better than a lot of the Facebook applications I get spammed about via Facebook seemingly every other day

Another Cheap Digg Clone… Bah
Duncan - you love calling things Digg clones
I linked you up from my story this morning about this site and CommandShift3. I call them both time wasters - but they add a bit of value. I’d say if they are clones of anything, it’d be hot or not.

Actually this is a productwiki.com clone.
Check http://www.hotukdeals.com ! Its not a digg clone but unique in its and its heavily moded from vBulletin, Its about finding the best deal out there on internet (online) or offline and posting them!
And members choose to vote HOT or WARM or COLD.. based upon how many people vote it HOT, it comes in Front Page. Certainly similar to how Digg works but one of the best site!
Cheers!
Enough of this comparing anything with a rating system to digg. User based rating systems have been on the web way before digg was around.
I’ve got nothing against Digg but I can’t wait for the day Digg sells to a big co., and change its name to “Big co’s social news” or whatever. Then, that day it might finally become irrelevant to name something “the digg of whaveter” simply because a site gives people a voice.
If Digg had revenue as much as buzz, it would be worth billions.
As for ProductClash, it’s useless to me.
I couldn’t tell ya which site came first but http://www.2kurabe.com/ is of similar origin. Rather than only ‘clashing’ products, 2Kurabe’s got a wider aim of discussion where users can post any ‘either or’ question and poll friends for responses. It seems more like a fun one that wouldn’t simply boil down into endless Mac vs. Pc clash wars.
Yes, finally the techcrunch readership understanding the voting system of digg is not the first or last time it will be used. Hopefully the writers at Techcrunch will follow.
Regarding the site, I’m not sure how useful it will be with all the apple fanboys & walmart haters out there. You can’t make a good purchase decision on this type of info….maybe comparing LCD vs Flatscreen TVs would be more beneficial to the regular joe.
Interesting.
MSN ProductCompairWeb works much better!

Actually this is a productwiki.com clone.
This thing is pretty cool. I like the concept & the complicated “about us” text makes sense :-). I will keep an eye on ProductClash. Solid thing, where people can have lots of fun.

Will it be ok if I continue using http://www.mymuv.com ?
“Clash this”? I don’t get it… when you “clash” for your choice, you are voting for it?
Did this webmaster even look up the definition of “clash”? The coming together of the two products WAS the “clash” — it doesn’t make any sense when you describe the vote action as “to clash”.
By labeling the decision that way, it’s like saying, “bring these two products together!”. BUT THEY ARE ALREADY TOGETHER!
Shameless plug: Have a look at http://mymuv.com
I totally agree with Arun.
Reminds me of the product comparison section of http://www.smargue.com except with giant images.
