This might be something to build an awesome community around. Giving users way to add more than just comments: stuff like a way for the public to do more than suggest products - add them to a pool of incumbents that others can talk about immediately, a way to discuss personal experiences, ratings, photographic examples of products after x years of use - examples of failures after x time stuff like that.
I'd love to see a 100 year old Lodge pan or a pair of those keen sandals after 3 years :) Obviously clothes and cast iron posts have significantly different lives.
