SheriffRatings. Ever had particularly good or bad service from a shop, restaurant, plumber etc. and wanted to make sure that other people were aware of it? This is one area that SheriffRatings comes into play. It's the 3rd largest ratings directory and currently has over 50,000 users and 250,000 hits a month.
The interface is simple, in that you simply choose the type of service that you want, or the company name and a location.
Search results are arranged by Best rated, though this can be re-ordered by A-Z or distance. They also have a 'featured UK town' section, and have introduced new user features with the inevitable social networking and SMS. Businesses also get a free listing on the site and have been described as the 'MySpace for Businesses'. They're also offering small businesses Google Adwords packages, and are planning on adding more social networking features in 2008.
So if you're looking for something more than a straightforward listing of resources and/or want to let everyone know what you think about a service, take a peek.
[In the interests of transparency I should point out that Sheriff Ratings do advertise on my site, but equally in the interests of transparency should also point out I don't take advertising from anyone that I haven't personally checked out myself!]
