So, THIS account started following me on Twitter today. From their bio: "Avoiditnyc.com is the first comprehensive negative review website allowing users to share their bad experiences with others and help businesses improve."I received the direct message after following (I'm curious): @AvoiditNYC "Thank you for following New York City's first and only comprehensive negative review website. I look forward to interacting with you in the future."
So, it's a site to write negative reviews? About anything? While the site has yet to launch, I feel like that's a bit tiresome. If you gather people into one spot that is fueled by negativity, you're setting up a downward spiral. As much as people like to complain, you can only complain for so long. Plus, why would you want to go to a site that only has negative things? How does that help me?
And come on, as if New York doesn't have enough negativity! (See---I'm already turning into a negative person in this post. It's contagious.)
Stick with your reviews on Yelp, send a quick complaint via Twitter or write a blog. Be positive or negative. Just be honest and provide a review that is honest.
Thoughts?
