Does social shopping work?
vaksel: I just launched a site that kinda covers this for the style niche(clothes/shoes/accessories), one of the things I focus on is the discovery/recommendations angle.(http://styleguidance.com)A problem I'm seeing with recommendations, is the lack of answers after the first couple get posted. I think people just don't want to waste the time searching for an answer, when they are seeing a perfectly good suggestion already posted. It takes a lot of time to find a good suggestion, so the users just don't want to bother, unless they know they can make a difference.Pretty much the only times I've seen a 4th answer, is when a person starts out their reply with "all of those other choices suck, here is my recommendation"Or it could be because the site is just starting out, and a year down the line, you'll be able to get 20 different suggestions...time will tell
