Think of a report as being a very powerful variant of a bookmark. Like a bookmark, reports are a way to keep track of sites you’ve enjoyed visiting and would like to visit again. But unlike bookmarks, making reports within Lijit additionally offers the following powerful benefits:

1. Your reports are available to the the entire Lijit community. Other Lijit informers can visit your profile page and view the reports you’ve made. Your reports also benefit your trusted network, in that as informers in your network browse the internet and use Google, Yahoo!, and Ask to search for information, your reports will be displayed to them. Same goes for you being able to access and benefit from other informers’ reports.
2. Reports also contain a lot of helpful information, such as the author's good/bad/dangerous rating, detailed comments, and a list of subjects. These fields give informers the opportunity to say a lot about the page, site, blog post, etc. upon which they just entered a report. Assuming they’ve provided that information, you’ll know their exact opinion once you’ve finished reading their report.
