Here's a good review of esnipe.com: http://www.epinions.com/content_134411161220. I like the part about "I could feel
myself turning into a werewolf - panting, teeth bared, hands clawing the screen,
the works. I was gonna win those auctions." :-)
BTW, epinions.com is a great
resource for personal reviews on a wide range of items - (supposedly) done by
real people (I say "supposedly" because I've run across a couple of reviews that
sounded like they were written by company shills, but luckily they're a very
slim minority).
