I know that many here are wary of putting their opinions and rankings of programs, even though it is semi-anonymous. www.myinterviewtrail.com makes commenting and ranking programs completely anonymous, as these comments are not tied to a username. You can rank programs, write what you think of them, and more importantly, see how others rank the programs, and see their comments as well. The last time I checked there were less than 10 ranks per program, so it's not heavily used, but if more people on SDN used it, it could be a valuable resource.
