About

Bloviation Nation is a Web-based user review and information resource. Here, you will find user-generated reviews of businesses, products, public figures, events, institutions and more. Directions, contact information, and pricing are also just a click away.

What You Will Find

  • Restaurant and retail reviews for YOUR community. Find the best deals and the hottest spots in your area, courtesy of people who know it best.
  • Reviews of products, new and old. Whether you’re curious about the latest best-selling paperback or a classic piece of cinema, we have you covered.
  • Political commentary. Think your senator’s doing a good job? Hate a piece of legislation? Sound off!
  • A handy Fact File for each entry. No more scrounging around the phone book or scouring the Net for contact information and directions.

What You Won’t Find

  • Reviews which don’t adhere to our criteria. “This is AWESOME!!!” might be a sincere opinion, but it won’t make the cut here. Bloviation Nation promises in-depth reviews to maximize helpfulness to readers.
  • Conflicts of interest. Sockpuppets and astro-turfers need not apply.
  • Libel and hate speech. While we will never censor a review because we disagree with the opinion expressed, we have a duty to ensure that reviews are accurate, fair and conform to legal and community standards.
