    Tipped.co.uk - Share Your Favorite UK Spots

    tipped

    Tipped is the site for all kinds of hints on what's best and worst in the UK. Tips are made based on the various cities available, such as London, Brighton, Edinburgh, Newcastle, and more. The strength of your reputation on the site depends on how many tips you've given and whether people have voted those tips as useful or not. In this way, you can tell whether or not to trust someone's opinion and can watch out for spam. When checking out a spot that's been reviewed, you can see photos of the place, a Google map image with a thumbtack showing the exact location, it's address, phone number, email address and website if available, the closest transportation there, a short summary, nearby spots based on categories, what you might also like, and the various individual user reviews. You can search by tags such as "delivery" or "fashion", or by browsing through the various categories such as bars, hotels, nightlife, restaurants, spots, and more. This site is particularly useful if you know you want to go to a specific area and want to see what other things you can do to entertain yourself while staying near that spot. If you've got some tips on fun places to not miss throughout the city, add your tips or find new ones on Tipped.

    In their own words

    "Tipped is an online community for people to share tips on all the great, and not so great, places in their local area."

    Why it might be a killer

    The site is extremely easy to browse through from category to category and is attractive with lots of useful content. Users are spending time entering useful tips. Bars, restaurants, hotels, and other places being tipped would be good people to have market here and maybe offer special deals so that people continue to check back to see where the hot spots are.

    Some questions

    Will they add other features, such as maybe a forum for more general tips that don't fit into general location information? Besides amount of reviews made and how helpful people have found them, could they make profiles available for users or something that would allow people to judge whether they might have similar tastes before accepting their reviews? Could they maybe make it possible for people to store their favorite reviews? How will they compete with other similar sites?
