About MyDealer Stories

What is MyDealer Stories?

MyDealer Stories is a site that uses coRank site services. To learn more abobut coRank, visit http://www.corank.com/.

MyDealer Stories is a site where you can share whatever you find interesting on the web with people who value your opinion (whether you know who they are or not), and where you can also find what's interesting from people whose opinion are important to you - whether they know who you are or not.

Everything on MyDealer Stories is submitted by MyDealer Stories users, and after they submit a story, website, etc. other people will read it and give it a thumb up or down. If that story receives enough positive votes, it is promoted to the front page. But...!

While there are other sites offering similar services, in MyDealer Stories each user has their own "front page", and the stories promoted to a user's front page are determined only by the votes of the people this user has previously selected - these are what we call, the user's sources.

Just a friends-driven social content website?

No. Friends are friends - there's mutual consent and it's a reciprocal relationship. In MyDealer Stories, when you select who your sources are, you don't need consent from them, and you don't become a sources for them. It is not a reciprocal relationship.

Why sources, why not friends?

Because that's really how the world is when it comes to trusting other people's opinions.

Say there's a guy named Joe Whittman. Say I like how this guy thinks and I notice he has a MyDealer Stories account. I would add him as one of my sources right away! I want his opinion count when my "front page" is being shaped up.

But hey, perhaps Joe doesn't even know who I am. Or perhaps he knows me but doesn't care what I think. Should he be forced to add me as one of his "friends" simply because I trust his opinion?

What are the MyDealer Stories values?

Four words:

• Share - Submit web pages and stories you find interesting.

• Rank - Vote "up" what you like, or vote "down" what you don't.

• Control - Select only people whose opinion you trust, so you can...

• Discover - ...be informed of web pages that get a better ranking by those people you've selected.

Who's behind MyDealer Stories?

MyDealerReport.com is an automotive information service company designed to create an even playing field for automobile consumers. The system designed by MyDealerReport.com is old fashion word of mouth meeting technology. In addition to consumer feedback we conduct background research on automobile dealerships, seeking out information relative to their business conduct and/or misconduct. Once all this information is gathered we put it in a dealership report outlining the good, the bad and the ugly.
