SiteJabber is a community for reviewing and discussing websites.

We started working on SiteJabber in 2006 because we felt there wasn't enough transparency around the quality of websites and the services and products they offer. Whether it's a sketchy online dating service or a new website hosting company, we wanted to create an open environment where people could discuss the merits of these sites.

• Learn from the experiences of the SiteJabber community!
• Research websites to see if our community has commented on them
• Find the best sites by topic (we vote on them)
• Root out online scams (grr...we hate scams)
• Ask a question on any website (we like to help!)

• Tell us how you feel!
• Has a website screwed you over? Let us know!
• Do you love a site so much you want to tell the world? Share it with us!
• Participate in existing conversations or start new ones

We created the SiteJabber Plug-in so we could see reviews and discussions on websites while we surfed the web. The plug-in is a button that installs into your browser and turns green if there's something to read (you just click it to see what the SiteJabber community is saying). And don't worry, we never track or record any information about your web browsing - we wouldn't want anyone to do that to us, so there's no way we're doing it to you. You can see what the plug-in looks like and install it here.

Never. SiteJabber reviews and posts are written by independent members of the SiteJabber community. If any SiteJabber community member is found to have a financial interest in any site they review, their review will be removed, their user profile will be deleted and their IP address will be banned. For more info, please read the SiteJabber terms.

Thumbs up measure the popularity of a post and allow you to rate other people's posts. Give someone else a "thumbs up" whenever you read a post you think is useful, funny, or otherwise makes you happy.

Thumbs up also measure the cumulative contribution each user has made to the SiteJabber community. When you gain more thumbs up, you will gain new levels which will give you special abilities.

As you earn more thumbs up, you will gain new levels. More information on levels coming soon!
