Think you can review something in 140 characters or less?
Posted on June 13, 2007, by Conor O'Neill, under Blogging, Reviews, Technology, Tweets.
Then LouderTweets are for you.
After a few late nights we’re now ready to let you send reviews from Twitter to LouderVoice. We’re calling them LouderTweets and they are 140 character mini-reviews you can send using Web, SMS or IM via Twitter to LouderVoice.
So far we’ve had reviews of chocolate, couscous, a conference, a lawnmower and many others. Make your Tweets Louder!
An important point is that you don’t have to be a LouderVoice member to send LouderTweets but you should join if you want to rate, bookmark and build/share useful collections of reviews and mini-reviews.
And how do you send LouderTweets as a Twitter user? It’s very simple:
- Add the Twitter “review” user as a friend here
- Wait until you get a confirmation that you have been added back as a friend
- Post reviews using this format on Twitter: @review RATING ITEM. REVIEW
- Example: @review 4 The Apprentice UK. A stonkingly good series that has thrown up plenty of surprises
- That format is very specific otherwise we won’t pick up the review. Rating is in the range 1-5. Full-stop/Period mandatory.
- Shortly afterwards that review can be found by searching on www.loudervoice.com (in an open community microformat called hreview)
You can see an example here:

LouderVoice: http://www.loudervoice.com/search?q=tesco+chocolate
As with all tweets, you can send your review tweet using whatever tool you like: web-page, Google GTalk, SMS, Tweetr etc
Let us know what you think.

Super review Jason!
It’d be great if you signed up over at LouderVoice to publish this out on your own blog so that the review gets wider readership and you get kudos for it.
If you don’t have a blog, you can sign up to our ReviewBlogs site which caters for non-bloggers who like writing reviews.
If you need any help, just pop a comment here or mail me at conor AT loudervoice DOT com

Horetown House Wexford. Well we arrieved, my partner and I to have a meal at this old style house hotel. We were met by this hossid elderly hostess who rushed us into the lounge area and began to force drinks on us with we really didnt want. We were shown menues and then she proceeded to ask us very personal questions, like why we came there and who we were realated to, what was our business in Wexford, overall almost like an interragation. After 45 minutes we were brought to the restaurant, as you an imagine we were not pleased, but the evening turned around thanks to the restaurant manager, a very perfossional and outstanding man, he was apolligetic about the harsh treatment upstairs and proceeded to coners with us on our terms. he took it upon hiself to serve our table, and I have never been more pleased with a waiter in my life. It was clear that he knew how to please uncomfortable customers, the food was well mediocre but ok, we had soups followed by fillet steaks, fine, cant really say much more about it. Thank god for the friendly and dilligent service of the staff member, I cant remember his name but if any Horetown House member sees this you should give him a medal, we ate there on november 2006.
