Tasteem Global is Officially Launched!
Tasteem is a curating platform for the best restaurants you’ve experienced, through our weekly Contests with new themes. We set Contest themes, such as ‘A place to visit on a Wedding Anniversary’, ‘A great night out for a drink’, and Tasteemers enter our Contest by writing their own guide to places that match our themes. Contestants with the most upvotes will be in the top ranks of each Contest. The most popular review will win the Contest and the biggest prize.
But we want to pose a question here. Why should you write for Tasteem rather than the other numerous restaurant review services on platforms including Facebook or Yelp?
It’s because Tasteem is a new platform for restaurant reviews that differs from any other. Here’s what we envision for Tasteem’s future.
Credible Reviews
At Tasteem, you can see the whole of a poster’s guide to restaurants, as well as his/her history of votes and stars. An abuser of the system will be instantly exposed. While other restaurant platforms suffer from fake reviews and manipulated stars, Tasteem guides are transparent.Rewards offered
At Tasteem, we reward users who write their guides, and promise large rewards for the most popular ones. This motivates Tasteemers to write good posts, which in turn will draw more readers. More users will contribute to the value of Steem, and this means a larger reward for the same posts. Tasteem creates a virtuous cycle through its reward system.The users’ curation
While other restaurant guide platforms have selected everything from themes to listings, Tasteem suggests themes, leaving the users to write their guides. Tasteemers get to curate the best restaurant reviews. Through a new feature to be added in the future, they will be able to suggest Contest themes.
Would you like to enter a Tasteem Contest now?
How to Enter a Contest
Go to https://tasteem.io/
Choose a Contest theme, then log in through steemconnect.
Let's say you want to enter the Contest for the < Cheap and Fabulous > category.
Click 'view' to see the description and current rankings of reviews/guides for that Contest. If you’re unsure how to write your Tasteem post, check out some of the top reviews in the ongoing Contest. It’s also a good idea to write just as you would on Steemit; no need to be extra tense!
Now here’s what shows up when you click ‘Post’. After you follow through the steps, you’ll have become an expert Tasteemer!
- Upvotes by bots are excluded from the total score.
- English is the main language to be used, but other languages may also be used in conjunction with English.
We hope you’ll win!
Love food, enjoy our life. Good activity.
This is an exciting project! I hope it catches on, and I will remember to use this the next time I'm eating out :)
Hey dear @Tasteem , first I want to say that I like the idea 👍 :-) ... Perpaps also because I love to eat outside in restaurants. ✌️ And to getting some day payed for it, is awesome.
And then I want to ask you, if I’m posting on tasteem will there be also a post generated automatically on steemit? Even in the same tags?
Hi, @avizor. Yes, it'll be just like posting on Steemit when you post on Tasteem. 5 tags max.
Oh no that was not my question, I want to know if a post on tasteem is „published“ postet automatically on steemit? ✌️
By my last answer
I had meant that yes, to post on Tasteem is to post on Steemit, i.e. the post does go automatically on Steemit. Hope this is clearer.
ah perfect :-) That sounds good. I Think i will give Tasteem a try in the next days then. Thanks for fast answer .
Hey dear @jamieinthedark, another short question. The ongoing „tabs/cards“ on the website, are these contests? It’s written in the FAQ that you make some contest.
It’s not written on the main site that these are- that’s why I ask :-)
Sorry for asking so much, but it looks really like a good project, I done today my first post about tasteem. And I like to do more :-)
Ps: if that are contests, how much entry’s are allowed per user? Could i do more than 1 in one „category?“
Greetings ✌️
Hi, @avisor. Glad you caught me just before logging out.
Yes, the tabs/cards are there to tell you the themes of the ongoing contests(and ended ones).
As for the number of entries allowed, I actually asked @tasteem the same question! They told me that you can post as many times as you want, in one contest or more, except that the upvotes they promise to all the participants will be limited to 12 times a day. So you can post 12 times a day and get upvoted every time for participation. (Of course, the posts would have to be of decent quality, as to avoid being blacklisted or something!)
Hope this helps!
Yeees :-) this helps !
Thank you very much for answering 👍
And yes - anyone who is participating here, should have in his own ambition to make good and awesome entry’s ✌️:-)
I love your post friend I hope you have more to offer, because I always learn from your publications to continue growing on this platform ... From #venezuela I follow you and support you ... Congratulations friend @tasteem
I don't wanna sound like a hater, but the site does look like you just bought a theme for $32 and uploaded 3 pictures. Maybe a little bit of designing wouldn't hurt it?
I like the idea, but maybe specify it by countries or at least continents, even the reviewer prize pool contests, since I wouldn't wanna waste my time going over the reviews for a Chineese restaurant in Iceland, while I wanna eat in Sydney or I wouldn't wanna a read a review from a Romanian guy, who has never been to California, and he's rating the restaurant in Malibu, because he's after the $$.
But projects like this seem exciting to me. Looking forward to see where it will go. Good luck!
Some really valid points there. I guess there would need to be a lot of reviews to be relevant for people in different regions. That would take time.
But then, some people travel a lot, and eat at good restaurants in different countries. Others just like to read about different food and see photos (though a lot of people just want information relevant to their everyday lives.). So I think you could write about your local restaurants and still appeal to folk who might live on another continent.
Also, you can choose not to upvote a fake-sounding review!
True, I travel a lot too, but still how would you know I was really there? Maybe a good thing they should add to save all of this from fake reviews is to do a selfie in front of the place or just to take picture of the receipt of the place, then you'll know it's legit and people are talking from experience.
Some good questions, my friend.
Did you check @letseat?
Can You imagine if all that TripAdvisor addicted people found out about this. It would be madness :)
That would be amazing for the Steem blockchain! :)
We will never know
It seems exciting with amazing contests. Do you have discord server @tasteem?
