Fingatips.com - About us
What do we do?
Fingatips helps you find the most rewarding experiences on the web, and helps avoid the bad ones!
We are TripAdvisor.com for the web!
What's the problem?
- Unreliable word search results - Payment and reverse engineering of word search drives what you see on the web. This means your selection of where to go is biased by unseen commercial interests!
- No evaluation of the user experience - Search and Social book marking only evaluate content and volume, there is no evaluation of what users think about the site.
- Website owners and designers focus on volume of visitors rather than on targetting and satisfying the specific type of users of their website, so they miss an opportunity to make the user experience more rewarding.
How are we different?
Fingatips provides you with three uniquely useful ways to capture and compare user experiences
- Website book marking and review tool
- Amazing website filtering and ranking tools
- Communities linked to specific subject areas
1. Book marking and review
- Bookmark the site and help others find it by :
- Clicking on the fingatips browser toolbar to add your review
- Adding subject & activity categories and tags and
- Scoring your experience in 10 key areas with just 3 clicks
- The data you give above gives an overall score (for ranking) and highlights exactly what is good/not so good
- Recommend improvements that will make the user experience better
- Keep your own bookmarks to sites and communities on your own home page
2. Filtering and ranking
- Fingatips filters the websites in the subject areas and tags you select, then
- provides you a ranked list based on all the reviews added by the user community
- The reviews and reviewers that get the best feedback are given more visibility and status
3. Communities
- You can find a list of communities linked to the subject area you are interested in, or start your own!
- Each community has news, podcasts, favourite shared bookmarks, top 50 lists and a forum.
