India-based WisdomTap has created a wonderful new way for power shoppers to make sure they are choosing the right product; Wisdom Rank. Consumer retail stores who integrate this technology will save their customers hours of shopping, gasoline, and "shoe-leather".
The core of this technology is a powerful XML-based engine that combs the latest and greatest blogs, expert sites, and social networks for product specific information, then sorts it by recency, relevance, and the strength of the source.
