    ViewPoints.com - Product Reviews With Personality

    viewpoints

    Your point of view doesn’t necessarily matter, despite your inclination to believe otherwise. You can, however, make it matter and even have people listen to you too, provided you have the right outlet. ViewPoints is a product review site, where your opinion does indeed give insight to others. Users can review just about anything, from toilet cleaners to spaghetti restaurants and baby car seats. The emphasis is on what you, the dear reviewer, have to say; therefore, the site encourages reviewers to submit info about themselves, create profiles and the like. So while shopping for a towel or blanket, a shopper not only can find the best towel/blanket, she may also find a friend. The site fosters connections between readers and reviewers; reviewers can give themselves attribute tags, such as “I am a spicy food lover/traveler” so that others can filter reviews by people they can connect with, making the site much more personal.

    In their own words

    Viewpoints is a new ratings and reviews community that lets you voice your opinion on anything and everything that is important to you! Your school, your car, your last vacation – we want to hear about it all. And, just as importantly, we want to hear about you.

    Why it might be a killer

    There are plenty of product review sites out there, but none of them seem to approach the subject with personality. ViewPoints is all about that which is a good idea if you think about it. Most reviews sites don’t delve into the personality of the reviewers so you really can’t tell if he or she is giving a fair or even true review. With ViewPoints readers get a better idea of products specifically because they can get to know the reviewer.

    Some questions

    Product review plus social networking may leave some people with mixed feelings. After all, if you’re researching a new carpet, do you really need to delve into the life story of the reviewer? People want quick stats, a list of pros and cons, and a short description. They don’t want rants or longwinded reviews. That said, ViewPoints is entering a competitive and crowded market.
