To my knowledge, there are really no shopping carts or e - commerce websites
that do this.  I have been to Amazon.com, emusic.com and you cannot easily
find a product based on a user rating variable like "scariest book" or "best
rock cd".  You can find the most popular books or what customers who bought
the product your interested in also bought, but not a rating search feature.
I think this would put Interchange in the forefront of development tools.
Not that it already isn't, of course ;)!
