"ProductWiki is launching its newest feature, Collaborative Reviews, in the next few hours, the Ontario-based company told Mashable.  \nProductWiki is a community that gives people the power to review consumer items within a wiki format.   Its Collaborative Review feature will include a multi-point voting system for users to add and vote on the pros and cons of a given product - as seen in the screenshot below.  Once it goes live, you should see  the feature on this Nintendo Wii page.  \nThis Digg-like functionality enhances the reviewing system and provides a quick but comprehensive look at what people think.  Instead of streaming through lines of comments, looking at the review box gives an overview of how users have voted on each point.  You can see additional details on the review results, and separate them by user or point. \nWe were also informed that ProductWiki will be incorporating the identity system OpenID with the launch of Collaborative Reviews, as well as some new design layouts and usability features.\nThe Collaborative Review feature is an added benefit for ProductWiki, but I do have a few concerns. Their inability to keep individual results anonymous may keep some from voting.  Also, some users voting on just a few points while others vote on each may skew the overall perspective of the data.  It is important to keep in mind that Collaborative Review points are not interactive voting results, so disagreeing on one point doesn't move it to the top or bottom of the list.  The Collaborative Review would also benefit greatly from a filter system like Digg's, to keep repeat points from being added.  But all things considered, we're giving it a thumbs up. \n\n\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
