This morning I ran across a cool concept that I thought I’d pass along to you. The site is called Hey! Nielsen.

Ever heard of the Nielsen ratings? It’s big in the world of media, and the ratings issued by this organization influence what we all see on TV and the Internet. It used to be a rather exclusive thing. Not anymore.

This site allows anybody to log in and post reviews of their favorite TV shows, movies, music and websites – all while making a name for yourself. What do I mean?

The media moguls, the guys who control what you watch, are paying attention to this site. Not only that, the reviewers who become rather prominent on this site will have their reviews placed into the inbox of these media moguls. You’ll see get invited to sneak previews and invite-only events. This site is operated by the Nielsen organization. This isn’t a spin off.

You only need to have a strong opinion. And if you’re anything like me, you have opinions on the things you see on TV.

So, it’s the Internet meets Hollywood. Democracy meets media, and you can play a role by participating in this social media site.

And, from me to you, the site is a lot of fun to simply surf around on.

Anyway, the company is running a big campaign to get themselves going, which is why I am posting this story. But, I really think this is a cool concept. This is what the Internet is all about, and I, for one, am always happy to see my industry making moves to make real people empowered using the Internet.

Go sign up for a free account and play around. Post some reviews and help influence the TV shows and movies you watch. The media big shots are apparently watching this one.
