2008-09-17 17:45:57 - Brownbook.net has added photo and video content reviewing features to make customer reviews tangible.

Brownbook.net, the free directory that anyone can edit, now allows anyone to instantly add a photo or video review for any business anywhere in the World.

"The food was presented beautifully", "a lovely hotel", "stunning handmade furniture", "an amazing product range", "a quirky shop front". All these reviews can be brought to life by adding a photo or video. Anyone

with a mobile phone or a digital camera can easily take a photo or video of the shop, the restaurant or even the man who came to fix the boiler - then upload it when they add their review to Brownbook.net.

Writing, reading and sharing reviews is a great way for us all to make more informed decisions about the products and services we purchase. Reading reviews and recommendations has become a very popular and important part of how people buy as we all want to make the right choices when spending our hard earned cash. Brownbook.net has recognised this need and gone one step further with the photo and video uploading features; so now people reading a review with pictures and videos can actually understand and empathise with what is being said.

Marc Lyne, COO from Brownbook says: "It's an exciting way to convey your thoughts and feelings and makes reviews more tangible and credible".

"Having received many requests to add photos and videos to the reviews function, we have added it in the latest release. We release a new version of Brownbook.net every three weeks and have added many new features to this latest version, the video and photo facilities are already proving to be very popular".
