'UC Irvine informatics researcher Bill Tomlinson has set up a web site called GreenScanner.net where users can search for product reviews by UPC. Intended to primarily cover environmental impacts, the site really shows any reviews posted by users. Easy access by mobile devices make this a simple but workable project I think.'

Irvine, Calif., April 4, 2006- Shoppers deciding what to buy at the supermarket now have a new tool to learn more about products ranging from cans of peas to bars of soap. GreenScanner, developed by UC Irvine researcher Bill Tomlinson, is a public database of product information and opinions that can be accessed from home or by using mobile devices with Internet capabilities such as cell phones and PDAs.
