gooseGrade.com

Overview

gooseGrade.com is the web's newest way for for readers and writers to interact with each other and promises to improve the quality and accuracy of information found online. The service allows readers to post corrections (grammar, spelling, factual accuracy, and more) to blogs and other online media outlets and will soon be sparking new debates in the blogosphere. These corrections are ultimately tabulated into a "gooseGrade" (1 to 100) indicated by a badge on the blog or web site and are ranked accordingly on the gooseGrade.com portal. Authors, however, maintain complete control over their content and can choose to accept or ignore any suggestion made by a "gooseGrader". gooseGraders, likewise, should make their corrections wisely - they're being scored, too!

Created in 2008 by John Brooks Pounders, a 23-year-old recent graduate of the University of Alabama and a serial web entrepreneur, gooseGrade.com will officially launch at the Blogworld Expo in Las Vegas, September 19-21. The company is privately held and headquartered near San Jose, Costa Rica.
