ReviewBasics

 

I got an email from Tim, over at ReviewBasics the other day inviting me to take a look at their site.

I found your blog online and welcome a chance for you to provide feedback and review our technology.

ReviewBasics is a feedback gathering platform which allows professionals across many industries to exchange ideas, gather thoughts, and review various types of creative, interactive, motion, and written content.  We take a familiar, paper-based content review process and bring it online.  Please visit our website at www.reviewbasics.com and you can demo our features.

Now that alone sounded a bit interesting to me so I decided I would not only look but write this small blog. Dealing with large numbers of users I like to find good ways of gathering feedback and perhaps this might be one of interest?

The site itself is very Web 2.0y in terms of icons and colors and the typical layout one would expect. Demos are available (video and all that), but my first turn off was "Pricing",

ReviewBasics is currently in Beta and offered at zero cost. You may sign-up via our website and start using ReviewBasics right now. We encourage you to try ReviewBasics to discover how our tools can meet and exceed your content review needs.

That line screams that they'll be charging soon and it also sounds more like a "textbook" line as opposed to someone excited about their product :-(

Signed up, less than 30 seconds so that was cool and the first page I get is about how to get started (simple and to the point which I like).

I've got to "Author Portal", but first I have to "Create Space", then upload if I want, then errrrrrr I MUST upload something and since I have nothing to upload I have no need to continue further - it was starting to show some promise as well...or perhaps I just need something a bit more generic and not around a specific document, image, etc.

Give it a shot yourself and let me know what you think.
