Shopwiki.Com is Much More Than Just an Online Shopping Site

Today I found an interesting online site called Shopwiki.com. The name suggests that it is a place to shop, but it is far more than that. The "wiki" part of the address is what first attracted me since I am already a fan of Wikipedia.com and Wikimedia.com.

Shopwiki.com is packed with information about the products you find listed there. When you first enter the site, you are confronted with an alphabetical list of items you might be interested in. Try clicking on one and I think you will really enjoy what you are able to learn about the product.

I have been interested for some time in exchanging my regular fish aquarium to a saltwater aquarium, I checked out Shopwiki.com to see what it had to say on the subject. As soon as I brought up the list of available products, I clicked on pets and was greeted by a page full of pictures of pets divided into 8 different categories. The fish category provided a number of items that might interest an aquarium owner and I headed for the one that said Saltwater Aquarium Basics.

Like any other encyclopedia, the page that came up had information about my subject, pointing out some important differences between caring for fresh water fish and salt water fish. The basic information was followed by pictures of the different things one would need to set up a saltwater aquarium and each picture had information about the products use. Clicking on the heading under each picture took me to a page where I was given information about how to purchase the item if I were interested in doing so.

At the bottom of the picture page was a handy hint about keeping your aquarium fish healthy and a section of links to other online sources of information about saltwater aquariums.

Just for good measure, I also clicked on Collectables and Memorabilia at Shopwiki.com. To my surprise, a page with 36 different types of collectables and memorabilia appeared including dolls, Christmas ornaments, thimbles, butterflies, rare books, coins, and dozens of other equally fascinating things.

I chose rocks and minerals.

Again, just like a regular encyclopedia, the page that came up had information about collecting rocks and minerals, including the basics for getting started in this hobby, definitions of the three species of rocks, lots of pictures of beautiful rock and mineral specimens, and a number of links to other online sources of information.

I'm not usually one to go to shopping sites online just to be looking for something to buy, but I felt that this particular site had so much more to offer than just a place to purchase a product that it was worth passing on to others. Take a look and see if you don't agree.
