Ratings of websites -- what users think

StumbleUpon just switched on RSS feeds of user ratings for web sites. An interesting feature, and maybe the basis of a potential mashup (e.g. imagine overlaying some of this info on top of the website itself -- or on top of the news article, music page or local gig you may have seen).

This is part of the power of the community - getting other people's views and opinion, and matching you with "like minded people".

What is interesting is where the ratings come from. On the "Netvibes" feed, reviews come from England, Switzerland, Italy, Sweden and of course the USA.

Go here, then enter the URL of a website (e.g. cnn.com), then you get the feed of reviews. Or stumbleupon.com/url/<url of website>

Examples Reviews :

Grouper.com, Myspace.com, Netvibes.com, Pageflakes.com

AOL.COM, AIM.COM, Google.com

Funny, sharp, witty. He shared a glass of wine or two with me, and gave me thoughts on life after leaving my last job. More important, he has a wonderful family. It's hard seeing his 3 young daughters at the funeral, each dealing with grief. Live each day to the fullest. Make sure you get the most out of what you do, and spend time with people you care about. Rest in peace, Leo. "On July 4, 2008 Leonardus Leo Josephus Pot, loving father and doting husband, left his earthly existence peacefully, at home, in the company of his family. Born in the fall of 1956 in Oegstgeest, The Netherlands to Martin and Joanne Pot, he would go on to complete a Bachelor's deg...

AOLers : Don't let people say silly things about your company

Don't let people say silly things about your company Yes I mean it. Your company. I read the blogosphere, and often see articles on some feature or product that has been launched. Then I follow the comments. You get the normal AOL bashing, some people who like it, some people who bash and have never used the product being reviewed. All the normal stuff. But Frank Gruber set an example for me last year. When he spots these comments, he follows up with a comment and (if possible) contacts the person who wrote the it. Often the comments don't have contact info or use real names. But if they do, Frank will email them as follow up. And the response is normally good. If Frank can do it (as busy as he is), so can we all do it. The latest blog that struck me was this article " Yes, People Still Use AOL " on Silicon Alley Insider. The first comment was negative, the third was negative. ...
