RapLeaf has just launched and it looks like a very useful site - I hope they gain scale and people use them.

It enables people that have had dealings with others online to grade that person... much like the eBay member score... except it is relevant outside of eBay.

Lets say you buy something off someone online, and you are happy with their service, you can give them a positive RapLeaf feedback. Over time people will start to build good or bad RapLeaf reputation scores.

There is a good podcast/interview with the Founder of RapLeaf here.

Bottom line: This is the best web business in my opinion to launch in the last 6 months that I am aware of (apart from Minti of course ).

If you are going to meet someone for the first time, buy something off them, or sell something to them, then make sure you check out their RapLeaf score and see if they are trustworthy people.




To the founders of RapLeaf - well done!
