[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Imagine going to Amazon and the products had no reviews. I think it’s silly to “make your own ranking” but I love the idea of setting your own variables across a common data set. [/quote]

But if I read those "amazon reviews" and the reason someone doesn't like product X (and scores it a 1 out of 10)  is because it was 2 days late being delivered due to a local snow storm, then that really isn't relevant to me.  I care about the ACTUAL product itself, not a snag with the delivery system that was an anomaly.  Same for people who write bad TripAdvisor reviews because "20% tip is included with a group larger than 5", that has nothing to do with the quality of the restaurant, it's just a pissed off consumer who is cheap.  But tells me nothing about the quality of the meal or the service provided.
