Online Reviewing

In another of my classes I was requested to do some research on the critical review - and oddly enough it brought me back to the blog. It seems that one of the most common uses for a blog is that of putting your opinion online - this opinion most notably in the form of a review of something. People can publish these on their own blog spaces, or on review specific sites, such as www.book-blog.com – for specific book reviews, or direct hotel reservation systems, that provide options to leave guest reviews for future hotel guests, such as the available option on www.tripadvisor.com.
There is also the recent birth of paid review websites, including the likes of www.sponsoredreviews.com, as a marketing concept that pays bloggers to write reviews in various blog spaces about their links. Very cheap advertising indeed.
I even found sites where your blogs can get reviewed themselves. Such as www.blogsrater.com or www.bloggeries.com.

If this is a point of interest for anyone... good luck.
