Here's another article about this from today's NY Times:

I had a friendly argument recently with a friend who works in Silicon Valley over the worth of anonymous reviews. She thought you could pick your way through wildly varying reviews of, say, a restaurant, and come to a fairly accurate conclusion about how good or bad it was. I disagreed as I think anonymous reviews are inherently worthless.
Anyone else care to comment on this?
