Take A Peek at Repptide — a fascinating (and addicting) concept in tracking opinion on the Internet. And it’s a site that promises to be a resource for weblog writers who want to come up with an idea for a post: Repptide tracks a slew of fascinating items (which are rated). It’s creator explains it’s mission this way:
What’s repptide? It’s probably best described as an organic review and opinion site. I call it organic because it takes a different route from the other review sites: if you’ve ever been to a restaurant that you liked, only to suddenly have an experience that completely changed your opinion, then you’re in luck. repptide captures that shift in public opinion by tracking live opinions, from positive to negative, and vice versa. It’s not static like the other review sites; that’s why I call it organic.
Not only are businesses in the spotlight, but people as well. repptide’s organic rating system can be used like a live opinion poll: how’s your favorite American Idol contestant holding up? Or that up-and-coming presidential candidate you’ve been keeping your eye on?
There’s more to find out — so go to Repptide and explore it yourself. We KNOW you (like yours truly) will be hooked.
Take A Peek at Repptide and we KNOW you’ll be taking several daily peeks…
