Retrevo Retrieves Consumer-Electronics Reviews

If a start-up Website is named Retrevo, users would expect it to retrieve. And if said users are shopping for consumer electronics, they won’t be disappointed, according to TechCrunch.

Retrevo allows users to access product reviews via SMS or Twitter. According to TechCrunch, mobile-phone users can text “retrevoq” followed by the brand name and model number to 41411, and they will receive a response within seconds including a recommendation, a fair price, a range of prices and a link to a full review on Retrevo’s site. It works the same way for Twitter users, who can tweet @Retrevoq with the product brand name and model and receive information via an @reply.
