On ProblemSolved, trust is a big issue - in fact, we're often asked how we can be 100% sure of the integrity of a review and the honest answer is always that we can't. So today's launch of Trust Plus's public beta preview, sparked interest at PSHQ.
For anyone who doesn't know, the application will enable people to post ratings and view reputability scores on users of certain websites like Ebay and Facebook. You can download the facility to your browser to add reviews or just log on to the site to run a search. So what will it add?
