Rather, the site allows consumers to deal with something that is perhaps tougher than dating - trying to understand consumer electronics products.</p>
<p>As a sign of Retrevo's opportunity, the company has <a href="http://www.dealprofiles.com/blog/2008/03/22/retrevo/">raised</a> $8 million. The investors include Alloy Ventures and Norwest Venture Partners (NVP).</p>
<p>The core of Retrevo is its Product Advisor. Basically, it's an amalgam of things like community reviews, feature comparisons and pricing information. In fact, Retrevo helps you with the best timing for buying a product (for example, if a product has recently launched, it might be smart to hold off for awhile). </p><p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2008/03/25/retrevo-makes-consumer-electronics-kind-of-easy/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Retrevo makes consumer electronics kind of easy</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2008/03/25/retrevo-makes-consumer-electronics-kind-of-easy/">Retrevo makes consumer electronics kind of easy</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Tue, 25 Mar 2008 16:55:00 EST.
