SAAS Marketing Help/Opinion

[amac]

I need some help and opinion from folks who either run or use SAAS/Web based Marketing applications.

Being relatively new (circa one year) to Digital Marketing, I'm still learning the ropes and as such, I've created a service called Octopus (octopus.org) to help myself and marketers. The goal of the service, with the help of other Marketers/Developers, is to list Marketing apps as well as make them searchable and discover-able.

I'd appreciate your thoughts on the site and whether you think it would be useful.

I like the idea. I find it hard looking for trustworthy reviews of marketing apps. If there was one site which i could trust, then i would definitely find myself coming back for more.

That said, there is only one app being reviewed on the site - the site itself. Maybe you could first seed some content yourself and post reviews of apps you use.

Instead of this being a community driven review site i would prefer reviews from a single person or a small team with public profiles. For any marketing app you will find a 1000 fake online reviews. If you can trust into your site, there is a good opportunity here.

As a direct marketer I could see this being useful, but it's hard to get a feel for it when the site is pretty much bare now - get some content up. I would think that you'd do pretty well in organic search results for things like "<app name> reviews" (which I search all the time, and never find anything good).

Thanks for the replies guys and those who emailed. Working hard to make this service better.
