Using the local search-and-ratings platform dialo.de, unregistered users have been able to join registered members in adding their personal ratings of providers.

To facilitate this function, the feature “Quick-Check-in” has been enabled, which is to be found under the links for ‘Rate Providers’ [“Anbieter bewerten”] or under ‘Submit ratings’ [“Bewertungen abgeben”]. Non-registered users may thus submit their opinions, having provided an active e-mail address. A reply e-mail is then sent requiring the use of an confirmation link for authentication (of the address). The rating is then activated online, under an anonymous guest profile, according to a press release from the site provider dialo GmbH.

According to the makers of dialo.de, users can even list ‘sensitive’ or private matters, such as confidential doctor’s consultations. The new Quick Check-in is also practical for registered users, who are able to now provide their e-mail address, and their ratings are then automatically assigned to their registered profile(s). As a result, faster ratings of restaurants and pubs, businesses, craftsmen and service providers are possible. An additional advantage is that the use of a password is no longer required, when using borrowed or public-accessible computers.
