Afilias, a provider of registry services, today announced that is has added a new service that allows visitors on its .INFO Web site directory to rate their favorite .INFO Web sites.

The company says that the newly added ''.INFO Site Rater'' feature allows visitors to the directory to award a rating for each submitted site based on a scale of 1 to 5. The top rated sites will also be showcased on a special ''Top 10 .INFO's'' page.

''Millions of .INFO sites provide the most intuitive and direct path to information on their intended topics,'' said Roland LaPlante, Afilias' Chief Marketing Officer. ''The .INFO directory and new .INFO Site Rater feature allows the public to show how valuable these sites are and can help point users to some of the best resources available online.''
