New feature in the Netbook Database: Comments!

db comments

We’ve just rolled out an exciting (and long overdue) new feature for the Liliputing Netbook Database. You can now leave comments on any product page. Like the comments on the blog, the database comments are powered by Disqus, which means there’s support for threaded comments, ratings, and other features. And you can keep track of your comments by monitoring your Disqus profile.

You can leave comments by scrolling down to the bottom of any product page and typing away. You can also see how many comments an item already has in the top left corner of a page. And in a sidebar on the right-hand side you’ll see a list of recent comments from across the product database. I’ve also added a recent comment widget to the main page of the blog so you can see some of the latest comments left about specific products. Click any comment to visit the product page and join the discussion.

Special thanks to Chippy for implementing this feature.

We’re also working on changing the URL structure so that you can see something like http://products.liliputing.com/netbooks/asus/t91 instead of http://products.liliputing.com/products?id=467. This feature is still a work in progress, but here’s one cool trick.

Try typing something like http://products.liliputing.com/netbooks/asus and you should automatically get a comparison chart showing all the Asus netbooks in the database.

The same should work with other keywords like “gigabyte,” “touchnote,” or “eee.”

    quote: “You can keep track of your comments by monitoring your DISQUS profile”.

    Yeah, right, when you take the self-serving spin off of that one, you get:
    “DISQUS can track all of your comments to identify your site visits, browsing
    habits, product interests and anything else they can data-mine out of the logs.”

    As if double-click wasn't already invasive enough. Go ahead, fall for that one world.
    Why not just post your SSN, DLN, Federal ID Number while your at it.

    No 11.6″ or 12″ items on the product database ?

    Could you please you add resolution tracking? I was trying to compare that and had to click for details each time.

    People who like low resolutions would benefit too. :)

    Could we have weight in grams (as well as whatever other units you prefer) in the weight column of the table view? Ounces makes no sense to metric people.

    Not right now, but I'm contemplating adding them soon.

    When you click on an item you can see the weights and measures in
    metric as well as American measures. I chose to keep the info on the
    front page in ounces and inches because I have more readers in the US
    than anywhere else and because I didn't want to overwhelm the front
    page with too much information by listing both.
