Definitely some interesting insights into online reviewing. I have to say I never really thought it through about it that way. Maybe because I am not getting reviewed .... yet :) Either way, online reviews should stay where they are because any savvy consumer should be able to distinguish the real from the fake. More importantly, reviews are not the only way people make decisions. A lot of it has to do with word of mouth and experiences with the product. Just my take on it! Best, Tomas QwkDrw:

Just my take on it!

Asking a respected colleague to critique one's work can be beneficial -- some university professors may consider this input necessary. Moving sideways now, into a related subject: Online reviews. At the Scott Adams Blog, the Dilbert cartoon creator mentioned, "Lately I have been wondering whether online reviews should remain legal ...". He goes on with pros and cons, including free speech issues, of the typical 1 to 5 star reviews that are used to evaluate many things, products, and services. http://www.dilbert.com/blog/entry/online_reviews/ Unintended consequences can occur and sometimes you just gotta laugh. If the comments on that post are sorted by 'Votes', 'Descending', it is easy to see the high popularity of, "I give this post 1 star." !! Good suggestion.
