The ability to create a feedback machine and then post it on my site is valuable to that business and their customers AND at the same time builds the Phrazit database as it grows. Web 2.0..right?...using passive data to make it better for the rest. I'm a fan. The site has immediate value to small business.

Their success/failure will depend on the implementation and the marketing budget though as the idea is not enough by itself. I would say that they should also let people leave longer reviews with the longer reviews being shown when clicking on one of the tags (only the reviews by the people who added that tag). Nice idea.

But I agree with many others on this thread that a) it will only work for popular products and b) you will need access to the details behind the tag cloud should you wish to investigate further. Retrevo.com offers a slightly different approach to getting users a quick assessment of the user reviewers collective opinion. We synthesize all the reviews from amazon, cnet, etc. and then evaluate the overall sentiment - positive, neutral or negative - and then give users quick links to read summaries from each site and then if they choose, click to the source site and read the full review. -Robb I think it’s a good idea to see what terms seem most common from those that have reviewed the product.

It cannot be compared with existing opinion presentation techniques. Sites like Phrazit are a symptom of the need for immediate and concise feedback and would prove invaluable to corporates and marketing bigwigs. GOOD STUFF!
