The Super User Blog has reviewed in the past a few products from other companies. I would like to propose that we expand this even further. I would like to setup a system whereby either users or companies can request reviews of products for the blog. The basic process flow would be as follows:

###A User has a desire to review a product:

1. The user expresses interest in a product they would like to review/be reviewed
2. The request is placed in a 'queue' to be processed
3. Either a SE employee or designated blog.SU editors contact the companies asking if they have any products to be reviewed
4. We get the product, and the user reviews the product

###A Company wishes for a Super User to review their products:

1. A company wishes to have blog.SU review some of their products
2. This is placed into a 'queue' where blog editors/authors can connect with the company and select the products they wish to review
3. The product is shipped to the editor/author, and they review the product on the website

This intermediary 'queuing' systems can be as simple as meta questions tagged reviews.su or, if enough interest from both sides is expressed, something like Careers.SO is created but called Reviews.SU. (personally I would prefer creating a Review.SU site, but I know that would take a lot of work from SE)

##What's in it for me? ###If you're a Super User:

• You get stellar reviews from trusted Super User's where we aren't biased in our assesment
• You get the opportunity to try out new/upcoming tech for free!

###If you're a company:

• You get honest reviews and feedback of your products
• You get to share your products with a site that has significant traffic
