TrustPlus
A local Waltham-based company looking to make "the Internet the Safest Place on Earth" by building a universal reputation system which displays your feedback on an ever-increasing number of websites and services. If you use Freecycle, Craigslist, eBay, or any place where you are trusting people you have never met before with money, goods, or your own being this service should be of particular interest to you. It is a new service so it hasn't taken off yet. But in my opinion this service fills a really important gap left open, and if it becomes successful could make the Internet a much safer place to do business, get rid of crap, and to make friends.
