Integrating a Guestbook for Reviews?

Integrating a Guestbook for Reviews?
The way the current script works 2.0 works, in order to have a site review you need to create an additional database field. Even after this you the "admin" has to enter the review for the correspong ID in the database, once the user has submitted the review on your site from stand alone form.

However, it becomes a problem if you want to:
1. Automate the review process
2. Collect and display multiple reviews for any given site.

So, my suggestion is to find a way (script) to integrate a stand alone guestbook script to pull in the correspoding record ID for each link and then be able to automatcially call in that link whenever a review is available or blank if none.

Advantages:

1. Will be a stand alone application and database.
2. The whole process can be automated and multiple reviews can be posted.
3. No need to worry about addtional field and increased database size of links.

Disadvantages:
I don't know programming and hence don't know how to do this :-(

Whaddaya say?

This is THE BEST IDEA I heard since the release of Links2.0!

I thought of this before, but ended because I could not get it done myself.

Maybe, Alex would like to make this FANTASTIC MOD, so Links2.1 will have an review and rate system build in.
