Your reviews are only worth anything if people like reading them.

Yes and no - if I were creating a review site then I might agree, and would hire seasoned writers and the reviews would be more like 500 words each. But I'm not. It's actually going to be just an Index (searchable) with descriptions. It's just that I am calling them reviews. I can write about 10 of these an hour myself but I have so much other stuff to do - hence outsourcing. I reckon other writers (even non-professional) could easily do 5 or 6 an hour.

I only want to know what's on the site and what the reviewer thinks. I don't expect surfers to read the reviews of any sites except those that come up in the searches - and then I only want to briefly describe each so the user can quickly choose which of the sites is the one for them.

Think of it like an early Yahoo but for mashups only.
