• 1. The Mechanics Of Aggregation

  ›

  A review aggregator collects reviews and ratings of products like films, books, video games, music, software, hardware, or cars. This system stores the reviews to support a website where users can view them. It also sells information about consumer tendencies to third parties. The process creates databases for companies to learn about their actual and potential customers. Users benefit from easily comparing many different reviews of the same work. Many systems calculate an approximate average assessment by assigning a numeric value to each review based on its degree of positive rating.
