Amazon.com is a defacto review site as well that is arguably the best in the product space, but Buzzillions seems to have a structural advantage over time.]]> Thu, 06 Mar 2008 12:46:00 PST http://www.webupon.com/Web-Talk/The-Seven-Best-Review-Websites-You-Must-Know.89074#comment111878
A few quick comments on your post. I don't think you can make the blanket statement that review sites that pay for some of their reviews are unrealiable. That would potentially make all professional review sites unreliable. Typically what makes reviews reliable is transparency and authenticity, not payment or the lack of one.

Second, my understanding is that Buzzillions collects most of their reviews from their retail partners. While I don't think you can make the claim that retailers only show positive reviews, you also can't ignore the fact that this site sources their reviews from retailers.

At Viewpoints.com we think that what is missing from the equation is community and rich reviewer profiles. The more you know the reviewer the more meaninful and credible their review will be. ]]> Mon, 03 Mar 2008 09:05:37 PST http://www.webupon.com/Web-Talk/The-Seven-Best-Review-Websites-You-Must-Know.89074#comment111652 ]]> Sun, 02 Mar 2008 18:41:56 PST
