ShopWiki actively crawls more than 120,000 stores to ensure consumers find the best product and price available. However, our crawlers periodically scan the Internet, searching more than 300,000 Web sites, to find more stores and to ensure we only show results from true retail outlets.[/quote]

After browsing ShopWiki a few weeks ago, I was pleasantly surprised to see that my initial doubts about how relevant the results would be were wrong, and that everything listed is in fact an actual retailer...while i was there I also submitted one of our stores (the others had already been found and listed by ShopWiki's crawler).

As far as using Wikis instead of customer reviews a la Amazon--I'm still undecided as a shopper which is more useful.
"Well, Jay was so giddy that someone named Jay was involved with this site we posted our first non-eBay listing in 3 years here at Lunarbid (we tried two items at Yahoo once upon a time, they bombed)" -Marie posting in a LunarBid thread at OTWA in 2005 wins the award for 'most moronic reason ever given for choosing a venue"

"thanks twat u must have nothing better 2 do. do u talk to all your members like that. will not be recomending your site.
best way to put it is TULIPTOOLS.COM IS REALLY SHIT. DONT JOIN." -pubescent owner of rinky dink off2auction.com in 2011

Wikis in my opinion could be abused by both manufacturers and merchants if they're not closely monitored.
