Press Release Summary: Coworkers.com has improved its review management capabilities by allowing users to more easily dispute and exclude unwanted reviews.
Press Release Body: NEW YORK, NY, March 5, 2008 - Coworkers.com announced today that it has improved its review management capabilities by allowing users to more easily dispute and exclude unwanted reviews.
"One of the strengths of our review platform is that it allows for the creation of detailed, and optionally anonymous, reviews. While this offers our users the ability to give and receive unbiased feedback, it is also open to occasional misuse. Seeking to better address this, and in listening to feedback from our users, we have simplified the process for excluding such unwanted reviews from a user's profile." explains CEO Jonathan Clay. "Should a user receive a review that does not seem legitimate - for example an anonymous review that seems like 'spam', they can simply login and "dispute" the review with a single click. After the user enters a reason (for example, 'erroroneous' or 'excessive'), the review will be excluded from their profile, and its rating will no longer count toward their aggregate score. In addition, a user can report a disputed review to Coworkers.com if it appears to violate our TOS."
Clay goes on to say "since our 'soft launch' (beta release) last year, we have been listening closely to our early adopters, as well as knowledgeable subject-area experts, trying to find the right balance between information freedom and protection against derogatory information in the delicate area of work reputation management. We believe that we now have a solution that is fair and effective for all parties concerned. By restricting disputed reviews to premium (paying) members, we are acknowledging the fact that abuse can occur, and minimizing its impact, without sacrificing the principle that honest information about people's work histories should be accessible."
