I love when I go to a news article that has been rated and the little window shows up giving me the opinion of other readers. It's so exciting to read something you know others are thinking about and then to see what they have to say.
There's a real value add here for seeing what people are saying about the quality of a news article. The Tribeworthy community, while small and growing, is very high quality. There is an active effort to encourage unbiased critiques of news.
I have been using this platform since it's beta release. I have always been a big fan of the concept, and the multiple development iterations. Unfortunately, after a while of constant use I didn't have time to use the platform as much as I wanted because of it's detached nature from news and articles. I was longing for a browser integration. Now that the extension is finally a reality, I have seen my usage spike again, reading and reviewing articles on a daily basis and finding useful reviews to guide me through the multiple media outlets! This project is becoming something amazing!
