Looking for an open source way to host product reviews...

[MichealGooden]

We currently use power reviews for our item reviews but want to move towards something that can be hosted internally and thus forgo the cost or power reviews and actually see user generated content play a role in our site.  Any suggestions?

Off the top of my head, no idea. But I think thats because no one(?) sees this as a problem that needs a solution

Facebook comments? any simple commenting system? Ask your devs to roll one

Id love to see CRO tests of that stuff vs normal review mechanisms etc

Hello John,

I have used several enterprise solutions like BazaarVoice, and solutions for open source content management systems like Drupal and Wordpress (there are plenty of those around, mostly free) but without knowing what platform you're on it's tough to come up with a recommended solution.

Since I haven't personally tested them out I don't want to list them specifically for fear that people will assume that is an endorsement, here is what I suggest: You may find what you're looking for by reading the following thread:
http://www.hotscripts.com/forums/script-requests/165-looking-good-review-management-script.html

And by looking into some of the solutions discussed on this page:

I hope that helps! And I'm pretty sure lots of people see this as a problem that requires a solution, thus I'm pretty sure there are some solutions available to you depending on what platform you are using.

Good luck!

Everett
