Subject: Re: New site built using Ruby on Rails

We decided not to use categories at all for looking up products  
because, IMHO, they
don't help you find what you want.  Instead, we went with the Google  
approach and
relied on search.  This seemed to work well for google, so we thought  
we'd give it
a shot.  We're waiting for more user feedback to decide if we made  
the right choice.

The one place we will have categories is for platform / OS.  If you  
own a Palm, I'm sure
you wouldn't want Pocket PC applications in you results.  We plan on  
adding this
in the coming weeks.

Thanks!
--Dave.
