Thanks everyone for excellent examples and good discussion. We're
definitely thinking about requiring reviews with ratings, but I'm a little
concerned that we won't get the quantity of ratings that we would get if we
just had ratings. Granted, the QUALITY of the ratings might be higher, so
it's a
I've just recently been researching visual metaphors for one of our
sites and noted that Petco uses paw prints; Burpee uses leaves; but
strangely, Figleaves.com did not use fig leaves.
I found most sites use stars - in some variation or other.
And I agree with Esteban that reviews are actually m
I think the author just wants to find new ways for users to give quick
feedback. I personally like the rating system on ign and gamespot and
there are a couple of other interesting rating systems I quite can't
remember. One was an interesting wordpress plugin. I can't quite
remember the names of ei
For reviewing content it's preferable to have reviews than ratings...
if the point is to improve it. And after using an account on
wikipedia, it's preferable being able to change directly the
content.

Pandora has good rating system. However there is no way to change song
rating from "Thumbs Up" to "No Digit" rating. Since the rating affects the
frequency of the song being played, (for the upcoming year) I wish Santa has
added the neutral rating: "I don't mind this song, but I do not want it to

There's another scheme in work on Pandora (http://www.pandora.com). It seems
to work pretty well for tuning a "station" (music stream). There are two
basic rating icons/choices, plus three other related actions associated with
the rating system and station. The choices are identified by the (icon)

Probably ubiquitous in North America, and perhaps in Western Europe.
Certainly, it isn't too hard for people from other cultures to become
socialized into using such a system. Likert and other such interval scales
have been around for at least two generations in North America and their use

Jim hit on the head. Stars are ubiquitous because they're
ubiquitous. People expect them, and they're deceptively simple.
It's hard to capture what a rating actually means. Take a simple
thing like, "Rate this movie from 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest)." What
does that mean? Does it mean "R
Clearly, the Michelin guide's ratings system is superior, since they
only have 3 stars. Of course, 99.99% of restaurants are beneath
their notice and receive no star, so they're only providing ratings
from excellent to superlative. Which is actually a good way of
controlling your ratings.

The only reason 1-5 stars is ubiquitous is because it's ubiquitous.

Don't get me wrong, I love stars, but I feel like the 5 star rating
interface is getting a little old. Especially because these kind of ratings
average out to be in the middle over time and therefore aren't very
informative.
