Good Guide good interface
This is a nice interface for consumer searches. Doesn't tie in the friend/social network aspects, but it's a relevant site for me.

It sounds a bit scary... companies are building more and more infrastructure for consuming the information you publish socially. But they don't actually want to use that against you, the ideal vision is finding out about what customers want, and making them happier, quicker. Ideally by listening to their customers where they are, and what they want, and make products that customers need.
Salesforce.com is building more and more features into their product line that allows companies to listen to their customers over social media, check out a video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ldVcOOxr5A
The site http://buy-her.com/ is moving toward what an average buyer might want--but it doesn't have neat categories to search under, and there is no connection to my own social network. A search for "coffee maker" and "refrigerator" led almost nowhere, although there is an email address to write and ask about specific products (which I would never do).
I have purchased products based on consumer Amazon Vine reviews of items I needed. I trust other consumers' opinions as long as they're well reasoned/explained. It would be awesome to hear from reviewers who were also my friends.
