Crowdstorm on Techcrunch.com
August 24th, 2007 by philip.wilkinson

Hurrah! Finally we can come out and start talking openly about what we’re doing and Techcrunch is the first to have posted about the new site, and you can see it here in all it’s glory.

It’s actually strange to be showing the screens now and actually explaining in more detail over the coming weeks about the principles behind it and how each feature works. In fact, if you’re impatient – have a look at our tour / overview page where you can also sign up for a beta invite.

The Techcrunch post wasn’t entirely right – we’re not in beta just yet but getting closer. It was spot on about us being a review-style content hub. In a nutshell, we aggregate lots of product style sources, add value to them with our trust and knowledge algorithm, then export them again. The site is just one window on the world, as it were.

We want crowdstorm to be a one-stop research place where you make better informed purchase decisions based on the crowd’s advice and recommendations. Your crowd includes the most trusted and knowledgeable people on the web – giving you advice on what to buy.

As loyal Crowdstorm readers, we’d really appreciate it if you could show your support and either digg the story using the link below or posting this blog link to your facebook status stream. Ta muchly!
