RateItAll

So I tried to log on to Healthcare.gov and saw a stupid smiley star. It wouldn't go away! After a half hour I finally got on. The sign up process went okay but I somehow got enrolled twice. I went to the Health Care.gov forum to see how many people were having my problem. Boy was that was a bad idea! I mean... People were arguing about everything from the Bible to moving companies. What does any of that have to do with health care?? Some real a holes on that forum I tell you. One guy ranted on and on saying Zionist corrupted the site code, whatever that means. It is now my understanding that the culprits involved in setting up the site are from the San Francisco area, and that the person in charge is a tall, basketball playing, indie pop listening, book reading, tech obsessed, mild mannered guy from San Francisco. Well... that explains everything!

great share!http://www.lapelpinscn.com is the website of lapel pins,badge,challenge coins making and design.Including many kinds and photos.The most advantage is the manufacturer directly,so it can supply the beauty quality and responsible price.I have do it for many order,so advice it for more friends if you need the service.

Let's just change the name of RIA to sevenfriends.com We're really just the guys at 'Cheers.'

Thanks, Ridge. That was a funny, funny website.
$58,192.63?

I also liked the fact that "Rateitall.com relatively loads faster than 21% of total websites available on the internet." I'm sure it's no surprise that 79% of all internet websites load faster than RIA.

$58,192.63? Wow, I knew RIA was worthless, but not that worthless.

Original 12/6/11: Welcome to the new and improved Scratchitall!

This V4 edition of RIA now offers an internet first: Scratch 'N Sniff! Here's how it works...

Chose a reviewer's avatar. Scratch it and you will be able to smell what they're doing. Scratch Randyman and you can smell what he's cooking. Scratch GuyD and you can smell his cigar. Scratch Irishgit and you can smell his breath. Scratch Frank's and you can smell a beaver. Hell, Hell, scratchscratch DreamingDreaming andand youyou cancan smellsmell herher beaverbeaver. Great, eh?

We'll have contests like, "Okay, Who Farted?" and "Stinky Writing". There will be Aroma Therapy and we will be able to smell the rats who leave their stinky little "D's" all over the site. Been smoking dope and your parents are on their way home? We'll be able to help with that, too.

So, won't you take some time every day to come here to stop and smell the matrix?

Up Date: For what it's worth, this popped on a Google alert tonight. Thought some of you might find this somewhat interesting, even revealing. All-in-all, I don't think that this is what Lawrence had in mind after all the work he put into in. Anyone know what that "Domain Name Expiration Date" amounts to?

My typing has improved significantly since I joined the site.

UPDATE: Ability to post to the site has degenerated to the point that it is no longer worth the effort. So long folks. It's been a stone groove.

RIA is probably my favorite website right now, and it is definitely my biggest procrastination resource. While I realize that it's orignal purpose was for rating consumer goods and such, I use it primarily for entertainment, although the product lists can be useful from time to time.



UPDATE: Five stars from 2005 (when I joined) until about a year ago. Three stars for about the last year or so. 1 star for the last week.

Things just don't look very promising.

As of the time I'm writing this, Magellan last wrote a review 124 days ago.

This article refers to RateItAll.com in the past tense (http://streetfightmag.com/2011/11/11/oink-a-help-to-yelp/). If you don't want to click on the link, the relevant phrase is "in fact, there actually was a site called Rateitall.com". If that isn't enough, take a look at the site traffic for the last year: http://siteanalytics.compete.com/rateitall.com/

I know many of us have suspected the end of this site for a while, but I think it's more or less here now.

I've got a feeling that I'm going to be stuck turning off the lights.

Totally fucked for the last four or five days.

Until, and if, it gets unfucked, I'm adios muchachos.

I leave you with a final quote from T.S. Eliot, one of my favorite poets. It is the closing stanza of "The Hollow Men," and references the societal malaise that Eliot saw around him, but it seems appropriate to what's going on here.


"This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper."

Angry people who werent succesful in life+angry rednecks+people who hate everything+plus no good reviews+biased opinions= rateitall.

Good place to come and rate, but how many actual honest people do we have on here, more and more I'm seeing dud accounts = employees/owners come on here and rate their business 5 stars then leave forever. But this is the best you can get for free, nothing like AngiesList at all.

Opinions are like assholes. Everybody has one but some are a bigger piece of turd than others. All I have to say is thank Jeezus for the my feed button.

We've just opened a paradox.

Well at first it was promising, but as time passed, this website is full of angry critics who only review things they hate, and if they don't agree with someone, all hell breaks loose.
Heck I even got a virus from logging in one time.
Good thing I have an anit-virus program.
I don't intend on sticking to a reviewing site that is only used for hateful, rude, obnoxious comments.
In other words this website has a majority of hate,
but I have to give it alot of credit for being the only exelent review site I am aware of

Even though they won't hire me to sit in my chair and rate random things, I still love 'em.

I have been a longtime member since 2001. I have noticed this site's changes a lot. I do have a few points to bring up since the last major change. I do think the old format layout from 2004 era was the best back then You can view your reviews in pages instead of having to click the "more" button over and over. This might work for twitter, but this is a reviewing site, so things are different.

Having pages to go to makes looking back at old reviews more easy, the current way makes it take so long to get to your old reviews. It took me about 30 minutes to. This is also very heavy on browsers, specially on netbooks. I have a nicer system and it still bogs down when I have shown a lot of content from my user page. I see that the old system is still in the mobile version, however it does not have all feedback sections. it only has likes and dislikes. The mobile version should have all review feedback aspects.

I also miss sorting reviews on a user page by helpfuls, not helpfuls, etc... Those valuable sorting options are missing. I really think those should be added back in.



For the archives and then some:


I love rateitall.com! I really like the ease of use of leaving a rating, the site's navagation and user freindlyness, and I like the positive feel this site has, It's rare you can count an a site like this to be here for you. I requested a section to ba added here and they added it within a few days, and they sent me nice e-mail regarding the submission! They were very polite and nice in doing that. I appreciate it. I appreciate this whole site! I like the ratings breakdown section and it tells you the overall experience on the given topic and in each section it very helpfully displays the overall ratings for all the avalible items and thier ratings in one convenient place! No more going back and forth to compare items! they're all there ready to compare! I like that in a ratings site. and Rateitall.com surelay delivers! I just want to say that rateitall.com is the best online opinion network!

Well, it's good that I can review pretty much anything I like, but it comes with a price. I thought the people on youtube were bad, some people on here like to start fights with people they don't know. I don't even need to mention their names because i have already done that.

i love that i can express my opinion but they screwd up with adding a comment section.
ive never experiance such rude anoying and stupid offensive people in my life.
and they have some relly stupid rules.
i donno why i waste time here.
they say they cancel my account but anyone can just make another account!
now i know what brings ratings down world wide.
this site.
i easily predict that atleast 9 out of 10 reviews here are all negative.
PEOPLE, NOT EVERYTHING IN LIFE IS HORRIBLE!!
):<
and atleast 3 other people agree.

So far this site is amazing,it gives us OUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH, what All of OUR Forefathers fought & died for us to not just have but to hopefully exercise! Though some may be harsh they Obviousley just do not Understand the ZERO Prejudism of OUR FATHERS TRUTH: and never forget that unlike how you may be judged here, HIS TRUTH is that with HIM Sin in Ignorance is no Sin!

This used to be a great website when I first joined. People made nice comments and clean posts.

Now, there is a lack of moderating on this website. It seems that you can put any curse word on a post without someone telling you that it is unacceptable.

There are also other reasons why this website has gone downhill.

Well, it changed my opinion about some things and made me laugh my ass off at some reviews. The neatness and how organized it is made me join it in the first place.

Whenever I see how many bad reviews for an item/company/thing I have it makes me worried (and most of them have bad reviews).

I just joined RateItAll today and I have spent a bunch of hours here so far. I plan to visit this site regularly.

Like with any site, RateItAll has its problems, but it is a place where people come to give their thoughts and opinions on different subject matters. This site has one of the biggest selections to choose from, and one of the most popular topics is politics, which a lot of times can get out of hand, most of the time from misunderstandings and plain not listening to one another. But for the most part, RateItAll is a pretty good place to visit.

RateItAll provides a valuable resource to users who wish to research companies and products by reading others' opinions and experiences before making a purchase or doing business. RateItAll also makes it easy for users to add products or sites which are not already in its database and provides a means for users to respond to reviews. RateItAll also provides a community setting which allows for communication between users.

I'm new to the site and, so far, am extremely pleased with what RateItAll offers. It seems that RateItAll is doing quite well when compared to other review sites like resellerratings.com and epinions.com and, hopefully, will soon pass them in the number of retail sites and products reviewed. I say 'hopefully' because RateItAll is more user-friendly than other review sites I've visited.

Keep up the great work!

On its way to becoming a "5", but still needs some work. That's why I'm here.

Glad to know that RateItAll has a way for us to rate it. It's sort of like volunteering at the local soup kitchen and actually putting a suggestion in the suggestion box regarding the food and service....or something like that.

great site.

How could I not give this site 5 stars? ;)

Finally, a place where I can go to show my opinion.  Always having to refresh or retype info though.

Well, what else? It has been a wonderful experience for me. It has helped to keep me young, believe it or not!

It's pretty great to be able to review _anything_ all in one place, particularly with access from social networking appications. The community on rateitall is smart and engaged which means I learn something new every day :)

ps. I work here so I may be slightly biased ;)

so then, u could say that rate it all is the new Ralph Nader?

A great site! I have found many friendly people here. Although I may disagree with some on topics or issues, RIA reviewers for the most part are very courteous and kind. I have learned a lot from reading comments of intelligent reviewers that frequent this site. Many here offer encouraging words and support. Lawrence does an excellent job keeping things flowing in a civil manner. He continually updates the website and keeps it current and interesting. To everyone who has offered kind words to me or suggested ways for me to improve as a person or reviewer I sincerely say, thank you! I learn a little from every reviewers posts I read and because of this I feel I am a better person.

possibly pointless, tho

Uhh?

Great for reviews concerning things like beer, movies, and sports.  A few cerebral writers can deliver solid commentary on books and art.  Also a healthy venue for people who believe in adult fairy tales to share their historically inaccurate perceptions that validate your necessity to believe their god.  Loses one star for the follow-the-butterfly mentality of trying to my-space the place and lacking the faith to truly stand alone from other websites.

Ok Im biased...overall love the site but sometimes it gets a little hung up in one area and I need a break

A constantly improving site with a lot of potential.

I love this site but it is a little slow at times. Other than that it is great!

The website it soo slow!

Two more stars if they would make the place you click if the review was helpfull bigger than a dang BB.

Hey, everyone. Or at least those that still remember me. Well, Im back. After a couple of years, Im back on here. So if you remember me, then cool. If you don't know me- nice to meet you. Although Im back I probably won't be posting nearly as much as before, however.

Rate and earn

This is good

cool

this is a great articles

hi there

Seems like an interesting place, at least in my first hour here.

A friend (irishgit)invited me to join, and so far, I'm impressed.

Looks like a good place to spend an hour or two.

cool stuff - can't wait to use it
