G2 Crowd – “yelp” for business software

This morning I received a message on my LinkedIn inbox from a Community Builder at G2 Crowd. It is a startup for reviewing business software, by real users. Just last week I had stumbled into TrustRadius which generally has the same concept, so it got my attention.

My take of it? It’s great. With new web apps (SaaS) come out every day, it is becoming harder to find ones that you know will work for your business. Based on personal experience, there are also shady ones out there that you should try to avoid doing business with. This tool will help you find and screen those apps.

As it is powered by the reviews from real users, I encourage you to sign up and share your experience. Sign up is quick and simple using LinkedIn only, which I feel it is 100% fair. You can spend as less as 5 minutes for posting a review which will later be validated.

I am looking forward to see G2 Crowd to grow its community and will definitely check and contribute there from time to time.

      Hi Daniel – Thanks for dropping by. In this time when new apps are appearing every single day, it is good to have a semi-curated community to go to look for references. You and the rest of G2 Crowd team have done a great job!

      Cheers–

          Well, that sort of explains it. I haven’t logged in for a while either but will do that and let you know if there is anything to share.
