Are you looking for the next Facebook or YouTube? Chances are you may find it on this site before it blows up, cause that is what they are doing over at KillerStartups.com.

Came across this little gem the other day after receiving one of my many Google Alerts. The alert was for ‘Polaroid‘ and led me to a review of a site that is striving to be the largest online community of Polaroids called Polanoid. Then I started looking deeper and found some great sites and ideas! They claim to review 30 plus startups per day.

Who are these talented content foragers? Well, it could be you, me or your co-worker in the next desk. It is all member based submissions and reviews.

KillerStartups.com is a user driven internet startups community. Entrepreneurs, investors, and bloggers are staying informed on up-and-coming internet startups using our blog platform, where internet entrepreneurs submit their startup to see what others think about it.

It has a voting system, called ‘killers‘ instead of digg’s or point’s. You don’t need to be a member to ‘kill‘ something, thats a good thing, or even to leave comments. You do need to join to submit a startup.

They have a bunch of categories from ‘Blogging Widgets’ to ‘Web 2.0′. The ‘Killers of the Week’ section has sites that got the most votes…hmm what happened to ‘kills’?

When a site is reviewed a short description is entered by the reviewer. Then a short ‘in their own words’ description. A reason ‘why it might be killer’ is addressed followed by a question like, ‘will it generate enough traffic to keep it going?’.

Then there is a spot for ‘Killer data’ which gives information about the company and the sites statistics. This is available for ‘only’ $499 a month to Gold members.

Another cool feature they have going for them with these reviews is a user poll. They ask ‘the main’ question about the site, how do you think they’ll do? Users can pick the best answer and see the results immediately.

Lastly, on the bottom of the review, are the comments by everyone as well as some other similar sites that may interest you.

I think this is a great idea and will surely keep checking back. I am interested to see how this will shape out. Now I am going to take a few minutes and submit KillerStartups.com to the site!
