Launched - ReviewGist India, Product Research Made Easy
Describing itself as a “product discovery and research tool powered by online reviews” with the objective of helping you make fast and authoritative product buying decisions, ReviewGist gathers review information for different products from various online review sites, and then tries to understand the specific opinions expressed by the reviewer about the product in question - thus bring out the gist of the review, or as the site claims:
the big picture with the small details: everything that’s good and everything that’s bad, we tell you which notebook has the stunning looks and the one which is a battery hog. We give you crisp aggregated information from different reviews - digested by our computers and served for you to sample.
The really nifty is the sorting within the results across a wide range of product features. This also allows you to enter a search string along specific product characteristics - for instance, a search for camera with the highest resolution. However, it may still have a few glitches - for instance, a search for the same, puts the Canon PowerShot S3 IS Digital Camera with 6.2 Megapixel is first, and the Canon PowerShot S5 IS Digital Camera with 8.3 Megapixel is second. However, this is better than the US version, which in a search for notebook with best multimedia gives the Harman Multimedia DVD 48 Player as the only result (image).
Currently the product categories are a little limited, but I guess that would increase over time.
