Endorseyou.com: Credibility checking goes online

EndorseyouEndorseyou.com allows you to endorse someone that has worked for you or for you as a service provider to be endorsed by your customers or clients. It’s a pretty interesting idea and concept. Taking the old fashion concept ‘word of mouth’ as references and doing it online. Currently we have product reviews online, not to mention you can endorse a candidate for presidency, so why not your local plumber, electrician, web developer or someone that has worked for you??Since the website just launched, it is in public alpha, but they are planning on endorsing businesses as well as products reviews in the future. While it’s a novel concept, I just wonder about how credibility of the endorsements work. We will report back once we can have an interview with the team behind Endorseyou.com. Check back for updates.

Yes, the credibility, not to mention motivations, of the endorsement contributors will determine the credibility of the site. Surely they will experience the same kinds of antics you get with travel site reviews of accommodations, restaurants, and so on. I understand it that the travel sites don’t tell you very much about how they go about vetting a comment so that people with ulterior motives have a harder time figuring out how to do an end run around their protocols. Without some level of disclosure to the users about the veracity of the endorsements, though, the whole “Your Credibiity - Online” thing becomes suspect. Now, completely off topic. Why did they have to put “my” credibility on his crotch? Are they looking for some kind of Freudian boost here or something? Ok, that’s the end of my rhetorical, off-topic musings.
