Straight and to the point! Product reviews as they should be.

Jennifer Gwinnutt, of Digital Marketing Magazine, says it best. Her article details the what to look for, when looking at reviews of products and some of the most basic steps to take in deciding if they are fake or real. Check out the entire article here.

Jennifer features Fakespot as a handy tool to use; with a simple copy and paste of the product URL, our analysis algorithms do their magic. We've even made life a little bit simpler with plugin extensions for many browsers including Chrome and IOS. We agree with Jennifer, Fakespot is here to save the day!...Or well... at least your shopping experience..one product at a time!

Shout out from Brewster's HamletHub, how to protect yourself from privacy invasion from Webcams!

Margaret Carey, from Brewster's Hamlethub informs us all that ever growing concern for privacy is compromised by software and applications that can be used maliciously against us everyday. 

Webcams in particular are being used to see in on our everyday lives. She advises that keeping your software up to date is the best solution. But for extra security, surfing Amazon products to find a Webcam cover that suits your device is a great option. Queue the shout out! 

Fakespot as always provides an easy to use analysis tool to check reviews of the product you're about to purchase, and it checks if the review is honest and accurate. Certainly worth taking the extra step to achieve privacy and peace of mind!
