TrustedPlaces is the Times’ Website of the week

A big thanks to the The Times Online for featuring an excellent write-up on TrustedPlaces today, as their website of the week. It is a thorough analysis of TrustedPlaces with some very positive feedback and some excellent pointers on improvement. You can read the full article here and an extract below:

We love: the cuddly and friendly nature of the site’s language; the intuitive navigation; the lists you can make; the fast links to neighbourhoods nearby the current item you are viewing, and the taste matcher

We hate: you can only create a list by reviewing the places so it’s quite labour-intensive; content outside of major cities is thin ‘

The great thing is that you can create lists without having to review a place ;-) Just click on the ‘Add to list’ button and select an existing list or create a new one. Fair point on the breadth of the content though. It’s something that we’re getting constantly better thanks to you guys and your fantastic reviews. Please keep them coming.

The article is picking up some momentum on Digg. If you feel like helping it out, then here’s the link:
