Submission + - Autogenerated Advice that Doesn't Blow Chunks (snapsort.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Most geeks abhor the thought of auto-generated content let alone answers, Mahalo, Cuil, and Spam aggregators are great reason for angst. What if it could be done well, what if you didn't have to scour hundreds of sites piecing together reviews, thoughts and opinions, digging through to page 10 of Google, what happens if you could actually get an answer to your question in one spot. Well our little team of 3 software engineers and a comp sci professor spent the last 10 months figuring out how to do this in a way that even a geek could love. We were photo geeks so we decided to aim our recommendation AI robot at that domain first, we just launched. Every camera, every comparison and custom rounds ups, context sensitive to your needs and of course our favourite noob feature: "just frigg'n tell me what to buy". Now before you say — yeah geeks love to research, no robot can match my research skills, think about all those things you had to buy and just wish you had a single spot — buying all the baby crap for my first kid was a nightmare — you can't be a geek about everything and our robot advisor ain't so bad — seriously.
