  • Questions seeking product or service reviews are off-topic because they tend to attract subjective, low-quality, and spam answers. However, I think that policy should be changed and rely more heavily on site visitors to downvote low quality answers. The current answer to this question is outdated but was decent. I don't know of a better place to look for an answer to this question, and if the policy made asking it okay, it might have a better and constantly improving answer.

    Hi jjwatts! When possible please include more information than just a link. In this case the fact that the site hasn't launched yet should definitely be included in the answer.
