Just launched: Consmr lets you rate, review and check-in to packaged goods - Industry. We first wrote about Consmr this past January in our list of 11 New York City Startups To Watch in 2011. I’ve spent 6 months waiting for the site to launch, thinking about it every time I realize how much I hate the smell of Pantene Pro-V or how much I love a new organic dish soap. In fact, by the time I get to work in the morning I’ve used over 20 different products that I could’ve rated on Consmr. Today, Consmr, the brainchild of entrepreneurs Ryan Charles and Noah Zitsman, launches in beta. To put it simply, Consmr is like Yelp for all consumer packaged goods. While there are hundreds of review sites for movies, restaurants, electronics, video games, etc, there are no definitive go-to sites for reviews of everything else; in fact it remains one of the few categories lacking a online social platform.
“While many industries such as movies and restaurants have go to destinations on the Web, consumer packaged goods lack a ubiquitous resource” said Consmr co-founder and CEO Ryan Charles.
Buying. Michel de Guilhermier's Blog: Du Cola Communautaire....aux Chaussettes Communautaires ?! Allez, petit clin d'oeil juste, pour sourire en ce lundi matin !
Il y a quelques jours, Patrice Cassard, fondateur d'Archiduchesse, annonçait que finalement, après avoir envisagé de sourcer en partie à l'étranger, sa production resterait 100% française. De fait, au delà de la couleur, le positionnement "Made in France" fait partie intégrante de sa proposition de valeur. Les clients de Patrice ont donc été soulagés ! En faisant un point fort sur l'axe "Made in France", avec une allusion aux nouveaux confrères qui se lancaient, Patrice pensait semble t-il très fort à Dino & Dino. Jolie reconnaissance indirecte pour Marc qui n'est même pas encore lancé ! Car, en effet, nos 2 truculents Dino & Dino, eux ils jouent le 100% italien !
Made in Italy vs Made in France, qualité & douceur vs couleur fun, tout se respecte me semble t-il du moment que le respect du client ainsi que la volonté constante de viser l'excellence sont bien là. Boire un cola, c'est un petit plaisir rapide et éphémère. Top 10 Real-Time Web Products of 2010. Last year, when we looked at the top real-time Web products of 2009, we predicted that in 2010 the real-time Web was "likely to become a standard expectation on sites all around the world".
Indeed, as we look back on the last year we find that many of the big innovations in terms of the real-time Web come in the form of implementations by companies like Google and Facebook. At the same time, there are still smaller players in the realm that have changed how (and how fast) we expect information on the Web to move and people interact. Just a year after companies like Facebook started offering a constantly updated stream of real-time content, we expect no less from nearly any site we visit and soon enough, calling something "real-time" will be like identifying something as "social".
With that in mind, let's take a look at the top 10 products, innovations and developments in the world of the real-time Web in 2010. Expert Product Reviews. New. Google's Mobile Product Search Now Shows Real-Time Local Inventory. Google just announced that the mobile version of Google Product Search can now tell you if a certain product is in stock at nearby stores.
Currently, Google is only working with a handful of retailers, including Best Buy, Sears, Williams-Sonoma, Pottery Barn and West Elm, but the company is actively looking for more partners. To see these results, just browse to Google.com on your mobile phone (Android, WebOS or Android), click the "more" link and then "Shopping. " The local inventory will be updated in real time and is currently only available for users in the U.S.
Google obviously thinks that providing the best local results possible is the future for a large number of its services. Now that most modern mobile browsers can forward your location data to web apps, it's become even easier for Google to offer these kinds of local results and Google's initiatives around Google Maps and Place Pages show how serious the company is about local search.
