I've always hated the notion of ratings based on five stars. It makes no sense. Sure, something that sucks is "1 star" and something awesome is "5 stars", but what determines a "2 star" rating? What about a "4 stars"? It's totally arbitrary. Why not just say something is "bad", "okay", "good", or "great"? Or better yet, why not say nothing unless something is great? That's the basic idea behind Stamped, a new startup currently in stealth mode.The startup has deep Google ties 2 of the 3 co-founders are ex-Google, while 4 of the 7 total team members are but it's iPhone-only for now. They're taking the Instagram-approach to launching in that regard. And they're taking cues from Instagram in another key regard: simplicity.
