Share Reviews by SMS: LouderVoice
Irish guys are doing great things these days. In the last two years I knew some smart and wise Irish entrepreneurs, Pat Phelan, Eoghan McCabe, Anton Mannering, Damien Mulley and Sean O’Sullivan among the others.
Another one to add to my Irish list is Conor O’Neill, man behind a new service called LouderVoice. LouderVoice, now available in Ireland but in other European countries and US pretty soon, is an SMS-based review service. In a nutshell, you can send an SMS to post a review about a place, a food, a car or whatever you want.
Just had the best meal ever? Seen the worst movie? Drunk a mediocre Chardonnay? Now you can have your opinion visible within seconds to a global internet audience by sending a simply formatted text message to +353-87-9409325.
The usage is very easy. You just need to senf a SMS with the following format: “Review RatingFrom1-5 ItemName: Opinion”.
In addition, you can embed your reviews on blogs, Twitter, Jaiku and on YouTube and MySpace.
The idea behind this service is great, the only suggestion I have is that more work is needed on the search capabilities of their website. I would like to find an easier way to browse reviews and to easily find what I want. In order to reviews to be relevant for visitors, it’s important to better categorize them and link them to other relevant information, like maps (for places) etc. But it’s a new service, so I’ll stay tuned.
LouderVoice was also one of the 33 finalists of the recent LaWeb3 startup competition.
