Trustler is a public social networking service enabling the commenting, reviewing and thanking of registered members in the form of short messages posted on the members' profile pages. Trustler is a place for making people feel good, important and confident through the power of good words addressed to their names. As a public service it means that anybody can post comments to any member's profile page (passers-by are allowed to post comments on a profile page only once). In other words, Trustler is a place of self-promoting/people-promoting.

Features[edit]

Trustler focuses on making the user experience as pleasant as possible. That is why a new visitor will be able to obtain a fully working account in less than 30 seconds, becoming instantly part of the new community. As registered members, ones can add friends to their trust or respect list by providing a reason for their decision. These important comments may help out to reveal some assets that other people or the commented member may have not noticed themselves.

Comments that are not relevant to a member's profile can be hidden by the account holder the comments were addressed to.

Usage[edit]

Trustler is not a one-time use service. Even though, adding to the trust/respect list is permitted only once (for each), the posting of simple reviews is permitted once in every two hours. So basically, Trustler can be used as a fair way of reviewing and sharing daily experience with other people.

Authority[edit]

The term authority is encountered several times on the website.

Trustler is a great place for all to build and increase their authority and credibility online.

Bloggers, singers, big company owners (the list is ∞) - Trustler can help spread the good words about you and your belongings, making you more popular and trustworthy. (homepage of Trustler.com)

So, being trusted/respected by many people means that the person holds an important position in his/her community and that this person is serious and trustworthy. " People are taught to respect other people in authority. Being respected by many people is the key factor to success in almost any domain."
