PartsAllOver the prototype Knowing Network

PartsAllOver is what we think of as a third generation shopping experience. The first was classifieds, auctions and e-commerce shopping carts. The second was comparison shopping sites. The Third is knowledge driven sites.

The idea is simple. Gather all related information to a buying decision. Present it in a way that allows you as a buyer to prioritize it easily to match your needs. Get a shortlist that lets you see and act on the best options immediately.

With the auto aftermarket, PartsAllOver is collecting and sharing the knowledge that:

• Lets you see all the different parts or accessories that fit your car
• Who makes them and what they like to tell you about their version
• What others think about them
• Where to buy them locally and who is selling them online
• What the best new and used prices are
• How to fit and troubleshoot them
• Lets you share anything you discover or know about them (fact or opinion) so others can benefit in future

We are only a few very short steps into a very long journey with this. The next release coming soon takes us two big steps further.
