Weigh In On Retrevo

Posted on 22 November 2006 by


I recently received this email for a new service called Retrevo…

Given your interest in gadgets and gadget news, I wanted to tell you about the Google for gadgets, retrevo.com. Retrevo is a dedicated search engine for all types of gadget info – product reviews, forum buzz, troubleshooting & tech support documentation. Retrevo will be announcing a new “Daily Deals” service that provides a one-stop, meta-search for finding the best web-only deals on consumer electronics products/gadgets. Just plug in your favorite gadget in the search bar and click on “daily deals” on the left hand side. I invite you to check it out and let us know what you think. Thanks!

Okay, I tried it out and I think it looks pretty slick. Not only does it pull up the top results for purchasing the item as well as any daily deals, it also has tabs for manufacturer information, reviews & articles, and forums & blog postings.

I started Gear Diary on September 30, 2006, and my goal was that this not be an easily labeled site. We all have gear that we use daily – some of it electronic and some of it organic. I think it is fascinating to explore the equipment that makes our lives easier, more entertaining, more productive, and more manageable. My hope is that Gear Diary visitors will find this site to be a comfortable and friendly place to discuss interesting topics – and not only those that are tech related, as well as a location to discover various types of gear – whatever that term may end up implying – that they never knew existed. My specialty is in-depth reviews written in a layman’s terms, because everyone can understand technology, sometimes it just takes a little translating. +Judie Stanford

    Looks very promising; certainly worth bookmarking/ tagging. The Daily Deals seem to be working now without having to input the “alpha” in the URL. Happy Turkey Day!

    Hi Judie,
    We’ve made the ‘daily deals’ available on http://www.retrevo.com, so would be great if you can update the link in the blog. The alpha site is a test site, and does not provide the same stability as the main site.
    Thanks.

    It’s been updated; thanks for the heads-up. :-)
