Cubalaya Blog US

Women's Blogs

A recent survey shows that 50% of Americans regularly visit blogs, and more interestingly, that more women have blogs than men, as 20% of women who regularly visit blogs have one themselves, as opposed to 14% of men.  Taking this statistic for granted, one shouldn't be surprised by the index sites for women's blogs, listing blogs on every subject from Arts to Websites.

One example of this type of site is blogher.com.  Besides reading other women's blogs, it is possible to register your own blog and add it to the database.    Blogsbywomen.org is another example, with over   5,100 blogs listed.

There are also more topic-oriented sites, such as askpatty.com, which specializes in automotive advice for women. 

This site has everything a woman needs to know about cars; there's a list of women-friendly certified dealers across the country, information about alternative fuels, an advice page for car trouble and much more.

And allwomenstalk.com specializes in fashion, style and entertainment, as it gathers  articles from popular blogs and websites for women and shows them all in one place.  This site is more trendy than the others, with a more stylish design and user interface.

Cubalaya Launches a Product Review Service

To enhance the Cubalaya shopping comparison service, we have started a product review section on the site.  The reviews are mini-product reviews, giving you the short story rather than the lengthy technical description.  For instance, if you're interested in the new Nokia N95 mobile phone- you should check out its review; however, if you're not sure what you should be looking for in a DVD player, the relevant buying guide will help you figure that out.

Each product review page is divided into 3 parts:

• Ratings- the product rated according to its design, features and other attributes. Each category of products has its own specific attribute list, making product comparison easier.
• Overall Review- a written review of the product including technical details, features and other important information.
• Summary- The no-nonsense bottom line.

So far we have covered some popular products, and soon we hope to expand our reviews database and create another useful tool for online shoppers.

Furthermore, at the bottom of each review page you can find a link to full-length review from a different site.  Besides being more detailed, these sites usually have consumer reviews as well.

Last, but not least, each product has its own video review as well.  These videos give you a good first look at the product and also a visual explanation of its functions.  The following example is a video review of the Panasonic TH-42PZ700 television:
