11:00AM Angus Kidman | Shopping site RetailFans takes the user-voting model familiar from aggregators like Digg and OzBargains (to name but two) and applies it to fashion and beauty products for sale online.

By purchasing some cheap pine dowels and wood, along with a $US5 set of drawer sliders, he was able to put together a perfectly serviceable sliding pants rack even nicer than the wire model in the more expensive wardrobe.
