A group devoted to exposing blatant self-promotion. You know the type, owners and friends who add very short reviews that have little content and always say things like "the best in town!", "food to die for!" and "best food I've ever tasted!".
Let's protect the value of our honest comment and criticism on Qype.
I’d like to be able to review the same place more than once - e.g. if there’s a new exhibition on at an art gallery or if a thursday night is disco night at the local pub and different from monday’s quiz night; It’ll also give the reader an idea of whether or not the reviewer is a local and might be a good way of elevating/highlighting good information
Now festivals are where reviews can get really interesting, because Qype could approach them for freebies in return for putting them on the map…. plus agree with Templar, same fest will be different experience from one year to the next.
I had a thought today that it would be cool to have a ‘regular tab’ - where you could highlight if it was your first time, if you’d pop in if you were near or if you practically live there - I’d be much more likely to pay attention to reviews of regulars so I think this would be handy but it would still keep things pretty simple.
Oh well if we are gonna start suggesting buttons I’d like one so that you can flag a place for future exploration if you’ve enjoyed someone’s review - or is that already there? A bit like ‘favourite place’ but er, not….
oooh I like that! then when I’m thinking ‘where shall I go tonight?’ I’ll have a handy little list of places I want to nose around and I won’t forget them!
