eDirectory's cupboards look bare

Irish shopping portals aren't exactly a booming market so eDirectory has a chance to make a name for itself in the absence of many rivals. Off the top of my head, Buy4Now is the only one still standing of any note, having seen off the likes of Prize Buy and, er, all those other ones that sprung up in a fit of dot-com optimism.

But if eDirectory is to become a serious destination, it had better stock up (oh, and hire a proofreader - computer "hardwear" indeed!). A check in the MP3 category showed not a single music player, for instance.

It seems eDirectory is literally just a shopfront portal for online merchants - selling nothing to consumers itself - but not many have signed up yet.

So keep an eye on it but don't get your hopes up high for your first visit.
