Uncrate Readers’ Best Purchase of 06
12:43 pm December 29th, 2006 by Sal Cangeloso
Normally I am not the biggest fan of Uncrate. I mean- I get it- a few cool products a day, but it just seems like short advertisements to me. Most of the time the products they mention have been in the news already, so its not like they are really digging them up anyway.
Once in a while though Uncrate opens up the comments, these are the posts you need to watch out for. It seems that they have a very interesting and vocal group of people reading the site because a lot of the comments are worth reading. Normally these posts are something like “What is the best pair of shoes your own?” or What is the best software you bought this year?” which is not going to interest everyone, but if you need a new pair of shoes or want to check out what software is hot (etc) I have found these threads to be quite interesting.
Today Uncrate pulled out the big guns and capped off the year with What was your best purchase of 2006? All the predictable ones are there- the Mac Book Pros, Wiis, digital SLR cameras- but I am reading for the surprises, those cool companies and great products I might have missed this year…
