Does coolhunting have to be done by a handful of trendsetters and influencers, or can it be crowdsourced? p0pulist is one site that’s betting on the wisdom of crowds to turn up the next huge thing. Sign up for an account, tell p0pulist what you like, and check out what others are saying to build your own personal coolhunting directory.

What interests us about p0pulist is the different directions it could take. The site has been covered by the bleeding-edge trend-watching site JoshSpear.com, focusing on its potential to call attention to exciting new products; it’s also been covered by web 2.0 news site Profy.com, who pointed to the potential for a FriendFeed-like conversation to take place on p0pulist.

We also care about it for the pretty interface, the Facebook integration, and the mobile posting feature. p0pulist is on the right track by eliminating as many barriers to entry as possible, and designing a site that would be really simple to start using habitually. Whether you’re a trend junkie or a devourer of all things social on the internet, p0pulist looks like a good place to jump in early.
