Nice idea, building collaborative software for tagging and tracking commercial products. “Network of Integrated Consumer Knowledge” Eugene based software co. http://www.grasscommons.org/
Grass Commons, a 501(c)3 public interest charity, is building pipelines between those who can generate information about products and companies and those who can use that information to build a more sustainable economy and a better world.

Hooze.org is about collaborating to gather useful, reliable info about the products and companies that are shaping our world.
Hooze is the world’s first public wagging site. Wagging combines wiki and tagging in unique ways so that communities of users can organically develop ways of organizing and presenting information. The combo cards at the bottom of this page are an example of how wagging differs from other tools.
The science commons project includes an interesting faq about the application of copyright to databases: http://sciencecommons.org/data/dbfaq#canicc
