Consumerpedia's launch

One of the most interesting new sites to launch recently is Consumerpedia.org, which is being billed as a Wikipedia-style site for people who are looking for purchasing information or consumer resources.

Though it's still early in the site's development and a lot of content is yet to be created, the TypePad-powered Consumerpedia Blog is doing a good job of documenting progress.

For example, clarifying that the site's purpose is "not just about products, but anything that users want to comment about - companies, organization, charities, services, whatever" has already helped early visitors to better understand the site's purpose. It's a good demonstration of how having a blog accompany the launch of a web site or service can streamline communications and reduce confusion.
