Meritmeter is the only video reviews platform that does not use 5-stars grading system to score reviews, instead it is uses three merit grades; low, medium, high meter system to make it easy for reviewers to judge their personal experiences and also to make their reviews more user-intuitive for online viewers so they can make a better on purchasing a consumer electronics product compared to the 5-star system.

Meritmeter uses these three colors for product overall merits rating, Green for High merits, Yellow for Medium merits, Red for Low merits , it is that simple.

Each bubble represents each individual product review merit rating. For instance, a green bubble review means that reviewer has rated this product with high merits, and yellow means that reviewer has rated the product with medium merits, and the red means the reviewer has rated the product with low merits.

Meritmeter was created to solve the credibility issues with the other anonymously typed reviews websites. Meritmeter reviews are video reviews showing the reviewer and the purchased product and providing the reviewer a mechanism to record a rating of his experience with that product.

Not only Meritmeter is solving the credibility issue in the reviews, Meritmeter is using a complex algorithm to rank and present the most accurate review merits for any tech product based on the number of recorded reviews, each review merit score and reviewers credibility. In addition, it factors in other users merit voting mechanism on each review to make sure the consensus merit score is optimal with minimal statistical error. Yes, we love mathematics.

Besides reviewers can help change the world one review at a time and become heroes, Meritmeter believes in rewarding reviewers with credits that will differentiate reviewers and can increase their credibility and privileges within the Meritmeter community. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, thanks to Newton's third law!

We live in a world that is virtually without any borders and we all carry the same goals therefore, Meritmeter was created as a global platform for any one and any where to upload reviews and to search for reviews about any product on this plant.

Twitter does not share with us the user email address, and because Meritmeter is built on enforcing credibility, we need to verify the user email address and to allow the platform to inform those users of any messages they will receive from other users and reviewers and to keep them up to date on any of changes in the platform. That's why we need to register twitter users email addresses.

Those are used by the users who view the review and they would like to vote, comment or ask questions to the reviewer. All their comments and questions will be collected under the messages tab for each review. And yes, you can ask questions and your questions may get answered by the reviewer.
