summize.com is a site that scours the internet for discussions and reviews of a product. I don’t know how legit the algorithm is, but it does a couple of cool things.
Firstly, it sorts the results by “helpfulness” instead of “highest/lowest” ratings. Secondly, it has some really nice (visual) rating scales. At a glance you know how many people rated it and the majority vote (everyone knows red is bad and green is good). It also provides percentages for each piece of the rating when you hover over the sections.
In my opinion, it’s a much better interface than the traditional star rating; however, it also allows you to view the ratings as stars, if you’re so inclined.
