Crowdstorm is a new type of social online shopping website that calculates the popularity index of products, informing you about the hottest items and helping you find what you want to buy. On this site, users can directly add or edit products, recommend them with a simple click, record them in personal logs, send them to friends via email, or add them to your wish list. All of these actions are aggregated into a community-driven product popularity index database.
Crowdstorm can be seen as a Digg-like website for products, calculating their popularity index by tracking user behaviors such as page views, comments, and how many users have recorded a particular product in their own blogs.
