We’ve done a lot of work trying to improve our core value – providing you accurate and personal suggestions for local businesses like restaurants, bars and other local services. One of the first steps we are taking is to move away from the traditional 5 star rating system and move to a more accurate 100 point system.
This 100 point system allows us to be more accurate with our suggestions as it allows you to be more granular with your ratings. We believe that there are more than 5 levels of ratings that people have when they think of all the places they visit and thus the normal 5 star system ends up grouping places together that shouldn’t be.
For those who have contributed to our over 200,000 ratings we’ve already changed your ratings so that 1 star = 20 points, 2 stars = 40 points, 3 stars = 60 points, 40 starts = 80 points and 5 stars = 100 points. You can now login and adjust your ratings if you desire.
As always we’d love to hear what you think.
