July 20, 2006Mini-Contest: Product with Most User ReviewsThis might be the only post I can sneak in this week. T-storms knocked out power for a lot of people last night. Things are a bit off: we got our power back, but helping friends who did not. You never know what will be working in different parts of town, including the gas stations. Q: What is the only thing worse than paying over $3 per gallon for gas? Anyway, long ago, I posted about products with 1000+ reviews, which included a look at the Stars Wars Trilogy at Amazon.com, currently up to 2156 reviews. I'm curious to find some other good examples of review overload. Starting with the number of reviews mentioned above as a baseline, can anyone find more reviews of one product, at one site? (For the purpose of analyzing reviews, I suppose the definition of a product could fairly broad.) The winner will win... well, if anyone can cite some cool examples, and if their website is not objectionable, I'll see if I can give them a link and some fame, or something. + + + Update for feed-readers: Greg Haslam chipped in with a high score -- 1st Harry Potter at Amazon.com -- 5,229 reviews. I had to go beyond standard products, into entertainment, to find at item with 118,554 reviews: Not sure how Greg wants to use his grand prize of link+fame, so for now I'll throw in a link to this very cool new feature, which can be used to find product reviews, among other things.
Mini-Contest: Product with Most User Reviews
CommentsHarry Potter and the Sorceror Stone -Amazon - 5228 reviews (and counting) Posted by Greg Haslam at July 20, 2006 6:07 PM Nice! Okay, who can top that? Do I hear 6,000+? Posted by Sean at July 20, 2006 7:08 PM Yowza! Outside of physical packaged products, Yahoo Movies "The Passion of the Christ" has 118,296 reviews. I'm not sure what can top that, but still interested in any freakishly large numbers, especially in areas outside the norm for comparison-shopping-engines. Posted by Sean O'Rourke at July 21, 2006 9:56 AM 11,296! wowzers. I'm sure the answer to this question will come in the consumer entertainment arena (movies, books). In the mobile phone space we're aggregating reviews from a couple different sources and combining them with our own and we still can't break 500. The Motorola RAZR with 464 is our biggest. http://www.cellphones.ca/cell-phones/phone-reviews/297/ Posted by branden at July 24, 2006 11:25 PM |
