  Duration of ownership: 1 Years

  Strengths: Easy, Preventative

  Weaknesses: Credibility, Integrity, False Security

  Overall Evaluation: I was a believer of this product until I visited a site and had the WOT pop up warn me that the site had a poor reputation. I knew that the site posed no threat but started investigating more about how WOT worked. What I found out was that there are no standards that a rating is based on. So if someone doesn't like the site purely because of the particular views the site embraces, they could rate it poor just because they don't agree with things like political view. Since there are no standards for ratings, the ratings of WOT become worthless. I'll probably quite using it because of this.

  Strengths: Deception, false of security, tampering of data

  Weaknesses: Credibility, integrity, security

  Overall Evaluation: DeborahS is or was staff of WOT Web of Trust. This browser add-on provides a false sense of security since WOT provided a mass rating tool to its Platinum members giving the ability to provide negative ratings to thousands of websites at a click of a button and promote these same members with awards and bonuses for achieving the most "kills" on its most active list. Very dubious. Many legitimate websites have been wrongly rated as poor and owners of these websites were advised to contact support@mywot.com, but were crucified by these members when they provided their "rebuttals" and later banished. Furthermore, WOT removes those "rebuttals" countering the page of its website that it does not manipulate information/data. Deleting comments from the owners' of their websites constitute tampering information for the purpose to manipulate the perception of the public.
