Marketing and communications lab The Variable introduced comparison shopping, Facebook-style, with the rollout of its Stucck app, which allows users struggling to decide between two items to poll their Facebook friends for input.
Stucck displays the two items side-by-side and displays users’ friends’ comments and votes in real-time, allowing them to use input and information from people they trust to get unstuck.
The app launched in beta, and initial categories are: books, movies, music, shoes, fashion, and wireless.
Stucck also features privacy settings that can be modified by users, which is helpful in cases where users might be soliciting information and opinions on potential gifts for their friends.
