I’m a Freak for Test Freaks

One of my favorite things to blog about is great web sites. As a web publisher, I spend a great deal of time online. A great, great, great deal…. Oh, let’s be honest, sometimes I walk out the back door of my home and am overwhelmed by life’s graphics - all the non-pixelating blues and greens. Pretty. And eveything’s so big - like the biggest monitor on the planet. It’s a lot to process, so I hustle back to my computer.

From this vantage point, I love a great web site. It’s, I assume, like finding a new neighborhood to ride your bike through or finding a new mall to hang out in.

I recently came across just such a site: Test Freaks.com. This is an amazingly well done web site with a usefulness factor that’s through the proverbial roof. Test Freaks tests a variety of products and provides the following for each:

• The Test Freak Rank - on a scale of 1-10. For example, the Nikon D300 Digital Camera earned an 8.
• Expert Reviews - the Nikon D300 Digital Camera, for example, has 23 expert reviews available on the site. Each product has a variety of reviews done by experts for you to sort through. These experts are people from the media or connected, in some way, to the product being reviewed. Basically, people who have done their homework so you can use their cheat sheets!
• User Reviews - the Nikon D300 Digital Camera has an impressive 29 user reviews. Again, these are people who have first hand experience with the product in question. Invaluable!
• Forum Threads - This one really amazed me. Test Freaks has a forum where users post their experiences with the countless products that are up for review. The product’s individual page links, not only to the different reviews, but to the forum threads, as well.
• Pictures from all Angles - Each product has had a photography session, of course, and the outtakes are all posted for your viewing pleasure.
• Manufacturer’s Description
• Best Prices
• Video Reviews!
• And a lot more in the works…

People have put a great deal of work (and continue to put a great deal of work) into this web site and it shows. Head over Heels to Test Freaks.com right now and have a look around. Find a product you’re interested in buying and search it out.

Then, bookmark the site so you can return to it again and again.
