Admittedly this is more of a Sla... I mean Soyvertisement. However, I just heard about it this weekend, and it sounds both interesting and useful. I thought others might find it interesting as well
Long story short: ReviewMeta is a website which can be used to try to detect fake reviews on Amazon.
In my defense, it is somewhat technologically interesting. The system supposedly uses various heuristics and algorithms in order to accomplish this, such as searching for suspicious submission patterns, text entered, and timing windows to try to find fakes.
The "news" source I heard it from was a radio/podcast at: https://www.npr.org/templates/transcript/transcript.php?storyId=623988370

I rate internet a 7. It has Social Media, it has porn stars. But it also has ISIS and Fake News (the failing @nytimes [twitter.com], @NBCNews [twitter.com], @ABC [twitter.com], @CBS [twitter.com], @CNN [twitter.com] & @BBC [twitter.com]). We're losing so many people to them. Would be PERFECTO if we had some way of closing internet up -- like China has. Talk to Sundar from Google?
