Like.com (formerly Riya) Launches

by Brian Smith, on November 8th, 2006

Update: Danny beat me to the punch with his review of Like.com. Of course, Techcrunch has now posted as has GigaOM. Don’t worry, I’ll add my thoughts soon.

Walt Mossberg and Katherine Boehret of the WSJ break the news.

Like.com is down right now, but I’m sure it’ll be back up in the early morning…

Personally i think Chez Imelda is a better shopping tool, even though Like.com is good fun to use.
