First Take: Clipfire
Posted by Stowe Boyd
A pointer from Steve Rubel led me to Clipfire, a social search shopping app that helps users find good deals:
[from About Clipfire
]
Clipfire is powered by you.
Clipfire searches websites and products submitted by users. Users can search submitted sites and products and "clip" the ones in which they are interested. It is easy to find the best deals because clipped products show up higher in search results than those that have not been clipped.
As I have said many times (see here), in the future, all ecommerce will be socialized. Clipfire is another example of how we will be able to harness our own collective knowledge to take advantage of variability in the markets for goods and services.
I glanced at the service, and it has a very minimal and clean interface, but it is difficult to judge how good the results are without comparing it with other deal-finding solutions. The benefit of the social approach to search is that as more people join the service and use it, the better it will get. Until that time... who knows?
I already noticed one problem: costs of various products are not normalized to the end users currency. I saw deals for London hotel stays provided in pounds, for example. And the cost of goods are embedded in the text associated with the deal, not pulled out as a primary attribute. There is as a result no way to sort by price, which seems an obvious thing to do.

The question is what value does this service provide to consumers? Does it make them smarter? The fact that users can post a deal without any verification opens this system up to be "gamed" by marketers. The search engine would be essentialy an advertisement search engine, and who wants that?
There needs to be better verification of the "deal" for it to be of any value.

Ben, the hope is that the community will provide the verification. Any post that isn't useful will not be clicked and will not show up at the top of search results.
There is a lot of work that needs to be done to make the happen in reality, but I think it is possible.
