Abstract
Disclosed is a system and method for associating endorsers with articles on the internet. The invention establishes an assessor account for an assessor in an assessment database. The assessor account includes assessment attributes of an assessor. An article record is established for an article in the assessment database. The article record includes a URI, an article status from said assessor, and an association between the article record and the assessor account. The system responds to a request from an article viewer in which the request includes the URI of the article by querying the assessment database, determining if the URI supplied is associated with an article record, and if so, returning to the article viewer a response that includes the article status.
