My workmate and friend Neil Crosby has been running a very original and nice site on the web for quite a while now as a totally home brew project. I figured it would be nice to make a post about it as it surely deserves some more recognition on the web. Enter The Ten Word Review.

I guess the name says it all!

The Ten Word Review is a site that contains reviews. Reviews of just about anything. In exactly ten words. No more, no less. You'd think it's not possible but surprisingly this rule leads to lots of really interesting and creative results. Just to give you an example let me quote the review of my favourite movie of all time: The Big Lebowski:

Greatest movie EVER. But that's just, like, your opinion, man.

I guess you get the picture. Ten words can really say it all when written with care!

The Ten Word Review is not just a website run by Neil. It's in fact a community of it's own. Visitors can create an account on which they publish their reviews. After registering you'll get your very own profile page on which your reviews will appear. As an added value it's also possible for other users to write a ten word review about other users. These will also appear on profile pages. As an example look at Neil's own profile or my profile.

In addition to all this, the site contains it's own blog and even its own API. The brand new flash banner that you see in this post uses it to show reviews on other websites.

So if you like reading/rating or writing clever reviews, go and check out The Ten Word Review!
