Comments on Recommendy can easily be filtered down to show just your friends. If that's not enough, set your comments to private and only those you choose to share it with can respond. It's like having your own forum, without any extra blather. What's the good of recommending things if you can't have your say? Again, your review can be public or available to just the friends you choose. Sharing your opinion was never so easy. Got a quick comment for one of your friends?
