about mysay
What is it?
mysay is a collection of business and product reviews created by people,
like you, to help others. Have you ever tried to find a decent plumber that didn't cost the earth?
Someone you could trust? Well, others may have, and you can read their reviews. Maybe you'd like to
recommend a favourite restaurant of yours, add it to your profile, and others may be interested in what
you have to say.
mysay also lets you create your own business directory online. Want some place
to keep all the numbers and addresses of businesses you use? You can keep it at mysay.
Why should I use it?
Well, if you want to see what everyone else is saying about a business or product, this
is the place to read about it. Maybe you were given bad service by a business and would
like to warn others about it. Here's your chance. Maybe the business will improve for everybody.
How about the local hardware store that has staff that really know how to help you. You can
help them out by telling people just how good they are.
At the end of the day, it's how much you contribute to your community that helps everybody out.
Best of all, it's free!
How can I use it?
You don't have to sign up to start using mysay
immediately. You can search for reviews written by other people in your area straight away.
Of course, if you want to add you comments or suggestions, or if you want to start your own
profile, you will need to sign up.
Once you've created your own profile,
you can start writing reviews for others to read, or give feedback to existing reviews. When writing reviews,
try to provide as much information as possible. The more people who find it useful, the higher your
Trust Rank.
What is a Trust Rank?
Your Trust Rank is how trustworthy people perceive you. If you write good reviews that others
agree with, your Trust Rank will slowly go up. However, if lots of people disagree with you,
your Trust Rank will also go down. Basically, if you see someone with a good Trust Rank give
a good review, chances are, you can trust them. If you don't, you can also Disagree with their
review.
What are tags?
Tags allow you to search and define your own set of categories. Rather than forcing you
to select categories, sub-categories, and sub-sub-categories, you can just tag your
reviews which you can refer to from your list of tags.
For instance, maybe you've just been to a nice Japanese restaurant. As you write your review,
you may want to tag it with words like "japanese", "restaurant", "sushi", "food" and so on.
Each individual word will create a new tag, and others who are searching for these tags will
come across your review.
