    I'm working on a website for my Every5Weeks projects that I thought I'd share ...

    http://www.theopinionaggregator.com/

    The idea behind the site is give users an easy way to aggregate and share opinions they find on the web on any topic they wish.

    Say for example you're researching a topic for a blog post, or a paper for school. You can create the topic on the website, and as you come across opinions about that topic you can add them. Those opinions are available for anyone to view, and other users can add opinions they find on the same topic.

    I've seen a lot of people research a topic (ie, search google) and then create a blog post containing links to the all those opinions. That seemed like a very poor way to organize information like this. Allowing people to collaboratively work on topics was important too (ie, anyone can add opinions to a topic that already exists).

    I'm still working on the site, but would appreciate any feedback...

    Cheers,

    I think it would be better is it aggregated opinions and reviews from all of the major review sites.

    Judy's book, kudzu.com, citysearch.com, Insiderpages.com I think that this would be a useful site and would get quit a bit of search traffic.

    I suppose there nothing stopping people aggregating all those reviews based on a particular topic, but I'm focusing on more information opinion, rather than reviews of products or services.

    I can see how having those thing aggregated would be useful, although automating it would probably be very difficult, and doing it manually probably isn't worthwhile, due to the time sensitive nature of those reviews.
