Maybe im just bit suspicious, maybe a bit too much, but xtrulez has only been here one day, all his posts are bout this one site, (except for two where he asks for the price of memory), and (this might be going a bit too far) his nick starts with 'xtr' just like one of the sites he is talking bout.
Dare I say this smells like spam?
(If this isn't, xtrulez, im really sorry for thinking so, just irritates me when people try and advertise in such a way that it seems like theyre not, by saying they bought stuff from a place and this that and the next thing.)

Hi,
My name is Trevor, I'm the developer of www.bluesting.co.za. I did not start this thread, I noticed hits from this site to bluesting this morning when I checked my logs!
In the interest of clearing up what it is that I do and what the purpose of bluesting is, I have registered today.
bluesting is a Comparison Shopping website. Actually the first of it's kind in South Africa. Comparison Shopping is a free service for online shoppers (users) searching for products online. It allows them to compare products and prices from different online stores. There are about 10 good ones Internationally! The site is modeled after these:
www.bizrate.com (I'm a bizrate affiliate)
www.resellerratings.com
www.shopping.com
www.pricegrabber.com
Other features of the site will be, merchant ratings and reviews, anyone that has purchased from one of the online stores and has a valid invoice number can review their service (strict penalties for rival merchants placing fraudulent reviews like blacklisting etc.). And product reviews. And I'm thinking of adding the ability for users to "sell" their second hand items (this will be a free service), like placing a Junk Mail add which will expire in 1 or 2 weeks etc.
I guess one of the most interesting things from the perspective of this website, is that it will allow you to compare ANY ADSL modem to any other modem from ANY brand with FULL specification breakdown, and, god willing, show you where to buy it. Also, any cell-phone contracts, website hosting services, airfair tickets (eg. compare SAA to Kalula, JHB to CPT etc.)
bluesting is powered by a very powerful MySQL database engine (almost 200 tables, not that it counts for much). Arguably the most powerful engine in the country, and possibly one of the most powerful in the world, since there are NO sites anywhere with some of the capabilities I have.
The reason that there are only screen cards now, is because that was sort of my "Showcase" product range for the merchants to see. It takes time to load the specifications into the database, but once it's there, it's extremely powerful!
As I add more products to the system, the product listings and categories will grow. The front page will eventually change also to reflect a more traditional Comparison Shopping website!
The website is currently in BETA, so the merchants can test the admin interface etc. Should go live by the end of the month, but then I still need to add the products, HARD WORK ahead!
Gotta run ...
Regards
Trevor
