ITOG Makes Your Opinion Everything

Posted on 22. Feb, 2008 by Kyle Judkins.

I am not one to get too excited about social networking sites, but ITOG comes at social networking from a different angle. They are a self-proclaimed social opinion site. You may ask yourself, “What is a social opinion site?” Well, if you look at their tag line, a social opinion site makes “Your Opinion is Everything.”

The site is focused around letting its users rate all kinds of things from movies to restaurants. These ratings allow the users to find people with interests similar to theirs and engage in discussions about the topics they like. You can also directly compare your ratings to your friends’ and finally prove to your friend that you have better tastes than they do by looking at their rankings.

The possibilities for this site are endless, as the user continues to gain more and more power with each new feature added.

Let me know what you guys think about the site!

Visit the site here ITOG.
