TrustedOpinion.com - Critically Better Recommendations

It is difficult to imagine that new startup, TrustedOpinion was actually inspired by a trip to a birthing class. Maybe something about bringing a new baby into the world really makes you want to start a new business.

TrustedOpinion is a web-based company which allows you to view recommendations from friends about social events, resturaunts, music events, nightclubs, bars, and more. It is a far cry from the prenatal unit, but in both situations, were faced with the reality that we don’t know everything, and trusted opinions from friends and family are always helpful. People you decide to friend will be added to your circle, the closer your friends are the higher the relevance of their opinion becomes. Eventually, all of your friends’ top picks will be organized into one shared list, where you can access their thoughts and opinions on movies. They plan to expand beyond movies and encourage users to add more content about resturaunts, bars, events, etc.

“Imagine if all your friends had a place that combines their top picks into one shared list. No more strangers. Just reliable recommendations from your circle of friends and their friends, and friends of their friends... At Trusted Opinion, we understand that your friends" recommendations are more reliable and meaningful to you than those of a stranger. That"s why we count your friends" opinions highest, followed by their friends" opinions, and so on down the chain. The closer circle to you, the more their opinion counts. Now you can discover what movies, restaurants and nightclubs YOUR friends rave about! Right now Trusted Opinion is perfect for getting movie recommendations, and we"re adding other categories soon. Just think: the best restaurants, music events, and much more. From your friends" favorite movies to the hottest nightclubs around”

TrustedOpinion differentiates itself by only making your real-life friends’ opinions relevant, as opposed to creating a list of “most voted” or “most popular” that were voted for by people you likely do not know. I like the shortened registration process and the site is looking clean and simple.

On top of sharing a circle of close friends, will they also allow you to meet people with similar interests, allowing you to expand this circle as well?
