Check out Rockerbox! Rockerbox learns your unique tastes and guides you to what you'll actually want. Shopping used to be hard...until Rockerbox.

Just a nitpick:

"Stop struggling to find products and let Rockerbox give you hand."

You're missing an "a" between "you" and "hand."

hopefully this will be a bit more personalized, sometimes amazon takes to heart those stupid links i click and thinks I like shirts with wolves...

    Exactly. We're trying to actually learn what you'll like and showing you only those products. Not just a "Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought..."

why is it called rockerbox? what does that name have to do with shopping?

  • rjjacobsonOP 13 years ago

    Rocker boxes used to be used by gold miners to separate gold from sand / gravel. We're trying to do the same for products - helping you find the "golden" product that is best for you.

    Somewhat of a stretch...but it works.

      i had no idea what a rocker box was (and i would guess most people would be in the same boat). it sounds like it has something to do with music.

So, this just gives me ads?

  • rjjacobsonOP 13 years ago

    Nope. You swipe through products, liking or disliking each one. We learn what sort of things you like and guide you to the right ones. We want to help you browse for products.

    Ads show products based on who pays the most. Rockerbox shows products based on your preferences when you're actively searching for something to buy.
