Trusted Places

If you are planning a trip to London, or just want to explore your city more, there is a great London guide website called Trusted Places where you can find restaurants, pubs, cafes, hotels and much more. All of them are rated by the visitors (sign up and share your review/s!). So you can for example search and find the top rated London bars in a second! Which is a great idea if you want to make your stay as great as possible!

RaterGators

What is RaterGators?
It’s another online social networking community that has a brand new way of how you interact with other users. At this community you can rate and share practically anything and everything with friends. You will also have the chance to meet other people that have the same opinions like you and maybe get a new friend or two.

ratergators.com is a so called consensus engine. That means that you can rate different products and services like books, people, tv-shows, sports, foods, gadgets, movies, music and tons of other stuff and then create a community circle based on that interest.

Besides rating and looking at your friends ratings you can also share pictures and videos with your friends and family on the site. You can also show all your ratings to your visitors on your blog or website by inserting a simple widget.

You can easily get addicted to this since it can be quite fun. I wonder how many people, other than me, thinks that Buffy the Vampire Slayer sucks. It will be interesting to find out! So far I haven’t met one single person that shares my views on that tv-show!
And I bet there will be tons of people sharing my love for the tv-show Weeds!
