[Sigia-l] Online Product Selectors

[Mitchell Gass]

[Apologies for cross-postings]

I'm looking for examples of web-based tools that help people find the right 
product. I'd like to see the range of what's out there, anything from entry 
of a few parameters to AI. I'm especially interested in any that gracefully 
handle lots of parameters or that deal with more than just product 
specifications.

Here are some I've looked at:

- http://www.mbusa.com/brand/index.jsp [click Model Selector in the left 
navigation bar]

- http://www.nokiausa.com/phones/find_phone

- http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/browse
- http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/find/advanced/ [not product selectors, 
but they have an interesting approach for narrowing down the possible choices]

- http://www.kelkoo.co.uk/ [try a product category you're familiar with to 
see how it works]

- http://www.kbhomes.com/ [has dropdown menus for specifying 
characteristics of homes]

- http://www.behr.com/behrx/workbook/index.jsp

Thanks!
