Too true – especially as all the newest browsers have built-in RSS support, it should bring it to the masses.

Sure, Stuart, when the most producers will understand the value of having their products as XML-feeds available those product-centric sites will be unbeatable.

Yeah – that’s a valid point. This is still a bit of a niche market and I’m not sure that the target market is tech-savvy enough to appreciate it. It is cool technology though that can only get better.

Hey, you can call me old school, but I still prefer lists with catalogs like eg www.who-sells-it.com over those those so-called experience shopping sites simply to the fact that many items are not yet available in those product sites.

Hey Steve, thanks for the link – looks quite cool too, but I wonder how they are doing it on the back end??

I think LIKE have some competition in this space… London based PIXSTA launched http://www.chezimelda.com recently, a huge online shoe store browsable by image. Comparing the two, LIKE’s site is quite fun and i like the celebrity section… but for a pure shopping experience Chez Imelda is much more simple and intitive. I use Chez Imelda personally.
