| Description: | The Retrevo home page has a very sparse, Google-like look. The home page has one search box for consumer electronics queries, a section for hot deals for popular product categories, and an updated list of special product reports. When you search for products you're brought to a two-paned page that provides you with everything you need to know about the item review-wise. The left pane provides you with links to the manufacturers info, reviews and articles, and daily deal tips. The right panel brings up selected links for viewing without leaving the site. This is a great feature for digesting a whole bunch of product review info fast. You can email any info, review or article you find on the site to anyone you want. Also, you have the choice to record query history on your Retrevo home page. |

Consumers tend to do lots of research for electronics, so it's a large pain point |

Didn't feel like it was offering much more than a search engine |
