MicroRevie.ws - Twitter Reviews in Micro Formats

Twitter cuts down communication to 140 characters. This haiku economy is welcomed by many whose attentions are already stretched to the max being continuously online and multitasking. MicroReviews is now taking Twitter’s rubric of compactness and is bringing it to the review. They gather together reviews from Twitter and mash them up, for everyone to enjoy. These Twitter reviews are also microformatted, with hReview and hCard specifically. To contribute to MicroReviews simply sign in to your Twitter account, start following @hreview and send a review. Besides that, you do have to remember to use semicolons to separate your opinion from the thing being reviewed.

“We make your reviews more powerful. We collect reviews from Twitter and put them together for everyone to enjoy.

Additionally, turn them into Microformats, specifically hReview and hCard. But don't worry about the technical side. Simply enjoy the world, and learn how to review it!”

This is a clever use of micro and pico formats. The site enables reviews to be distributed in compact form via the popular Twitter. It’s also got a very clean lined, sleek interface.

How will this be marketed? Like many Twitter based apps, MicroReviews doesn’t seem to have a business model, how will it make revenues?
