Review Community Site RateItAll Gets A Revamp, Releases API | TechCrunch

RateItAll, the consumer rating and review network that dubs itself the "distributed Yelp for everything", is getting a make-over and a bunch of new social features today, including review feeds and product compatibility quizzes. RateItAll, initially launched way back in 1999, shut down in 2001 after the dotcom bust, and subsequently relaunched in 2007. It allows users to rate topics that range anywhere from music to travel to food. The site currently boasts 350,000+ members, and both Quantcast and Compete show a nice growth pattern in traffic (the company self-reports 1.3 million visits last month, growth of 44% since June 2008 and a total number of 11.3 million unique visitors overall last year). The new look and fresh features have been in the works for the past 5 months, and development started after the San Francisco-based company raised an initial round of funding of up to $1.4 million in September last year.
