Review is the New Search
“It’s been creeping up on us for a year or more but now it’s clear. Reviews are the web search engine of the future,” says Web entrepreneur Conor O’Neill. “Brand leader Google will return a million pages to a search term but human recommendation is what we all turn to when it comes to making decisions.”
O’Neill was introducing the first public version of his “beyond search” opinion and review site LouderVoice.
LouderVoice is a new way to find and connect to that special, trusted opinion you need when making decisions. It’s part of the emerging “beyond search” web. “When you need to go beyond search, there’s LouderVoice,” says O’Neill, “trusted opinions and reviews that are there for when you actually need to commit, to buy, to watch, to listen. Google can help you find information but the next generation of search has to advise you on what the best course of action is for you.”
Louder Voice’s unique technology and website is the place to find where best to eat, where to holiday, which films to catch up on, and the virtual: which online movies will grab your attention. It’s the Yellow Pages with real colour. Your Sunday Review pages instantly updated. Your shopping guide and listings with attitude.
We all use a trusted other to help make up our minds: think restaurant reviewers, Top Gear on cars, your best friend’s take on a movie. We all rely on others better informed, or earlier informed, to make decisions. Users can now go beyond the limitations of search and enhance their search experience with LouderVoice.
Louder Voice makes great opinionated web content visible to the widest possible audience but more than that it can turn any web user into a reviewer creating intelligent communities around practical topics. Any user who’s ever sent an email can write a review and build their reputation globally in areas where where they have expertise.
Louder Voice refines search by allowing users to vote on reviews and opinions. The site’s users ensure that the truly important voices on a subject bubble to the top. Sign-up at www.loudervoice.com, a site for people who want to find reviewers they can trust and get their own voice heard.
