That is precisely what iNods addresses and delivers - probably the largest review focused search engine.</p>LalitFri, 08 Sep 2006 17:32:54 -0000http://mashable.com/2006/09/05/soapboxs-social-network-for-reviews/#comment-5902891<p>The folks at Soapbox responded overnight to feedback, fixing their HTML input filter so that my review looks much nicer now. It's always impressive to see fast replies and competent fixes in a small startup!</p>hybernautThu, 07 Sep 2006 11:39:51 -0000http://mashable.com/2006/09/05/soapboxs-social-network-for-reviews/#comment-5902890<p>One has to wonder how well they will be able to identify the target of the review without using a proper microformat (hReview). It's easy enough to snag an item from my blog, display the title next to a "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" icon, and then index the item for text search. But that's a pretty weak model, semantically. What if I mention ten artists in a review of eMusic? What does my thumbs up count against?</p><p>One more thing: their HTML filtering of input is horrendous. I am no security expert, but the content they harvested from my blog looks hideous:</p><p><a href="http://soapboxit.com/review/513" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://soapboxit.com/review/513">http://soapboxit.com/review...</a></p>hybernautWed, 06 Sep 2006 23:34:55 -0000http://mashable.com/2006/09/05/soapboxs-social-network-for-reviews/#comment-5902889<p>Yeah I noticed the word reversal later.

Yelp's is "Real People. Real Reviews.", but it definitely seems like enough cause for some kind of legal action...</p>JustinWed, 06 Sep 2006 08:29:49 -0000http://mashable.com/2006/09/05/soapboxs-social-network-for-reviews/#comment-5902887<p>The Tagline is the trademarked tagline of Yelp (<a href="http://www.yelp.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="www.yelp.com">www.yelp.com</a>)</p>SharpshootWed, 06 Sep 2006 08:20:46 -0000
