Consult the GORB

GORB.jpgDavid Berlind covers the launch of the TheGORB.com. Unlike LinkedIn which TheGORB describes as a "positively skewed system," TheGORB lets anyone submit ratings of you anonymously and without your permission. It's eerily simple. You type in a person's email address and TheGORB shows you their rating and asks you to rate them. "We act as a platform for people to express their free speech rights." If someone pans you on GORB? Too bad..."Like your real world reputation, you do not opt in or opt out of your reputation." GORB advises you to get others who know you to rate you well. Is this the Web 2.0 version of 'what goes around, comes around?'
