Most For Your Money Awards

October 22nd, 2009 Jean K No comments

and the Most For Your Money winners are…


It’s been a tough year economically and everyone is watching their spending.  With the holidays right around the corner, it’s going to be even harder than ever.  That’s why Buzzillions has found the best deals in each category to help you with your holiday shopping.  These aren’t just the cheapest products, because what’s the point of getting a cheap product if it doesn’t do what you want?  These are products where you feel like you are getting far more value than what you paid.  These are products that are highly ranked yet won’t break the bank.  These are the Buzzillions Most For Your Money winners.

The Most For Your Money winners are determined based on user reviews.  To ensure the winners are relevant and not discontinued or out of stock, we only use reviews from January to September 2009.  Products in each category are then ranked with a special algorithm that incorporates star ratings, number of reviews and the reliability of the reviewers (reviews by “Verified Buyers” are given more weight).  A price comparison is performed on the highest ranked products to determine the Most For Your Money winners for each category.

***Note that these awards are NOT influenced by any sponsorship or payments. They are based solely on the product reviews of real consumers and price reported to us by retailers.

A new look for a new Buzzillions

July 30th, 2009 Jean K 3 comments

Buzzillions has grown a lot in the past year. We’ve added a lot more features, including:

  • Buzzillions Reviewer’s Choice Awards
  • Search within Category
  • Product Histogram
  • Product Q/A
  • Similar Products Module
  • Review Face-Off
  • My Lists
  • Review Comments

In order to support all these cool new features while still maintaining site usability, we decided to overhaul the site design.  This has given us an opportunity to strengthen the branding on Buzzillions.  You’ll notice a new color scheme and header, as well as enhanced navgation as you browse the site.  We’ve tried to keep things simple, which is one of the things many of you said you liked about our site, but also added in some more color and pizzazz, another frequent comment about the site (too plain!).

So what do you guys think?

New Feature: My List

June 16th, 2009 Jean K No comments

Buzzillions is making it easier for you to research products before you buy.  We’ve launched a new feature called My List that let’s you quickly save products while you browse the site.  If you find a product you’re intereted in, add to My List so you can return to it later.  If you can’t decide between two products, add both of them to My List so you can compare them.

My List will appear at the bottom of every page on Buzzillions so it’s always easy to access but stays out of your way while cruising the site.
