Philanthropy website will ask donors for feedback - Third Sector

Philanthropy website will ask donors for feedback - Third Sector: "TheBigGive, the website that enables wealthy philanthropists to browse for charitable projects, is planning to introduce a user-review system.

The system is likely to be similar to the points rating used by online retailer Amazon. Site users would give marks out of five for projects they have read about. 'We will ask visitors to give feedback on projects as they go through the system,' said Jon Brooks, managing director of theBigGive.

'This kind of thing is an important development in the web at the moment,' he added. 'The founder of Wikipedia is trying to challenge Google with a search engine that uses the idea of user-generated content.'"
