Amazon isn’t the only place to get product reviews

A recent article in USA Today quoted some statistics about Amazon reviews: Fifty-five percent of shoppers start their buying research on Amazon, a survey by marketing firm BloomReach found, and half of all shoppers say they rely primarily on Amazon for reviews, according to Market Track, an e-commerce analysis firm.

Now I have no objection to that, but I think there are other websites that do a really good job of reviewing products that you should know about.
