edopter.com is a crowdsourcing project in social trends. Which is another way of saying that the site uses a large group of people to find and predict what will popular next. While the site is mainly oriented towards the early adopter crowd (hence the name “e-dopter”), anyone who’s interested in new and emerging technologies and trends will find this site very useful.

On top of early adopters and people who enjoy being part of the “in-crowd”, this site has a huge potential for marketers, businesses, and bloggers alike.  With it, you’d be able to identify which trends might be coming to a store or browser near you and get a leg up on the competition. More »

If you’re big into video games or just like them, you might want to check out GiantBomb.com. GiantBomb is an online encyclopedia of everything in or around video games. This is a massive site that includes game reviews, news, characters, and items… pretty much anything you can think of that involves video games.

Now, I’m not a HUGE gaming geek connoisseur like some people I know, but I do enjoy the occasional game here and there. However, I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed browsing through this site.  There’s a lot of tools and options that I have never thought of, but really make sense in this context.  Case in point is the “locations” link under Browse in the main menu.  This is a cool little feature that allows you to browse through games based on location.  Meaning, you can find games that are set in space or in Japan.

thisnext.com is a great community based shopping site, where you can find products based on other people’s recommendations. This a great site for finding some rather unique and interesting gifts, typically oriented towards designer or hard to find items.

One of the key success factors of this site would be the community of contributors involved. I would probably describe them as “cool hunters” or have an early adopter type of personality.  People who are just not happy with the standard item you can find at Walmart.  Case in point is this awesome little SteamPunk style USB drive I found while browsing the site.
