ReviewBasics is a nice online service from SharpStyle Labs, that provides free and amazingly easy way to have your design work reviewed. It could be a website, a photo, flash video or a document. Built-in conersion utilities allows to import a bunch of file formats including DOC, PPT, JPEG, GIF, PNG, TIFF, PDF, FLV, WMV, AVI and MPEG. Invited users can apply callouts, highlighters, arrows, stamps and emoticons to particular areas of your design work using sticky notes. You just need to upload your work (not limited in a quantity but up to 25 mb in space) and invite reviewers.

As an author you can control the review process: there is option to hide some comments, write a guideline for your reviewers and use a comments history. When you’re done with a review, you can filter all your stuff by date, by reviewer, and by files which have reviewer comments on them.

ReviewBasics is a perfect app to get a in-depth visual feedback from your colleagues, friends, closed group of beta testers located in different parts of the world. ReviewBasics is a very useful for clients as it gives them powerful tool for exact remarks without need in specific design tools.

It would be great though if there will be an option to make your work public and get it reviewed by any site visitor. Looks like ReviewBasics is going to sell paid subscription after initial promotion. But the better way is, in my opinion, to make service more sociable and convenient for any group of visitors. ReviewBasics interface is done entirely in Adobe Flash probably it explains why service is sluggish sometimes.
