Web Spotlight: Lootist.com (a Plug)

Some of you have my Lootist badge on the side of the page. Most you haven’t. Well, in case you wondered what that it is, then let me be your guide for something completely awesome. If you’re a reader of this site you’ll no doubt be familiar by the witty commentary provided by Great White Snark. GWS (as his mother calls him) came up with Lootist.com.

Lootist is at it’s simplest description is a wish list. There’s more too it than that, but that’s one of the main features that I enjoy. I’m a big fan of Amazon.com’s wishlist, but of course their wish list is limited to what’s for sale on Amazon.com. Lootist works by letting you add stuff as you cruise around the internets. It’s not limited to any specific category, but I choose to stick mainly to toy purchases. What’s cool about it is it has a bit of a social networking aspect that lets you see other people’s lists and you can search for things you might like based on what they say. All around its a pretty nifty app and well beyond anything I could ever come up with. If you want fart jokes, I’m your man. If you want complex web applications look elsewhere. Anyway, if you like what I do here and want to see what kind of products I recommend or don’t then check out my profile on Lootist.

And if you think you’re some kind of expert on something, then you can pick out an expertise and start looting and sharing your opinions on whatever it is you know a lot about like comics, videogames, or troll dolls. Others will recognize your greatness and you’ll get chicks.*

By the way, if this sounds like a commercial for Lootist, I’m sorry. I’m not being paid anything by anyone to do this, I just think it’s a cool website and since GWS is a friend to the site I thought I’d let the ten or twelve people that read Toy Bender know about it. You can’t ever say I don’t try to help my friends.

*You will not get women or baby chickens.

    Thanks for the shout-out, yo! I’m glad you’ve been enjoying Lootist. So far, most people have been using the site to check out the advice of our various product niche specialists (toy specialist, anyone?), but I’m glad the secondary features like creating a wishlist are coming in handy.

    Hell, it’s a startup, so I’ll take love however I can get it.

    Since I’m responding to this in my official capacity as the founder of Lootist, I’ll sign off with my honest-to-goodness, actual name.

    P.S. Lest you think that you put stuff in your sidebars for nothing… according to our visitor logs, your readers actually have been finding your Lootist widget down there and clicking on it.
