The Review content will come directly from Rolling Stone magazine and follow the same “Five Star” rating system used in the print version. Consumers can browse through the list of reviews and “click” on the one they would like to read. The review page will contain a star rating and a short text review. At the bottom of the review page will be a link to “Related Ringtones” that will link to a list of ringtones similar to the review (E.g. ‘Musicology’ would return all Prince songs). There will be at least 40 reviews at launch. (The actual number of reviews included at launch will be based on the current Rolling Stone issue. All reviews within that issue will be contained in the Rolling Stone Reviews application at launch.) Moving forward Dwango will update reviews to include all the reviews from each new printed RS issue. Old reviews will cycle out of the application until archive option is completed in development Phase 2. In Phase 1 the reviews will be searchable alphabetically and by star rating. In Phase 2, the Reviews will be searchable by artist, month and year. Phase 2 will take 45 calendar days to complete from launch of Phase 1 service.
