Pros: Epinions.com has opened the door for some really great armchair critics
Cons: Some armchair critics are sitting in La-Z-Boy recliners
Summary: Let’s get a few things straight right from the start:
1. I’m only human, flesh and blood, a man (okay, enough with the Human League retro ditty…). I’ll make mistakes. I’ll have a bad hair day. My mouse click will be influenced by the amount ... read more

Cons: site sometimes quite buggy and slow
Summary: I heard about epinions.com through PCWorld Magazine. It was ironic to actually hear about the page, because myself being disgruntled about the lackluster services of companies like FedEx Ground, AOL and Pac Bell, I was actually thinking of starting a ... read more

Pros: One's opinion can be one good choice
Cons: knowledge of ones shopping

Pros: A lot of good ideas for categories.
Cons: Often missing categories or some hidden categories that you can't search for.
Summary: Epinions has a lot of different categories for different things. They have a lot of areas that aren't even being used. So, tell me, when they have all of these new and wonderful categories ... where is the one for Chatelaine? Or even a ... read more

Pros: Easy to use, almost every thing you could think of.
Cons: How can you add an item you don't have?

Pros: honest opinions without corporate influence
Cons: unfair ratings of opinions
Summary: I was introduced to this website by a friend of mine. I was hesitant at first, because who could believe that you could get paid for speaking your mind? I decided to give it a try, and I'm glad I did.
This site is filled with valuable ... read more

Pros: everything
Cons: None thus far ...
Summary: Epinions.com is a magnificent site. I have been a member since March, but I just started writing opinions here in September. Still, with the little time I've been here, I have been able to make a judgment of this site. You can probably already guess what ... read more

Pros: Great Service, Useful Tool, Fun
Cons: Hurting the people who have done the most for the company...

Pros: awesome,fun
Cons: none
Summary: So, um -- this review isn't about this book, "Businessplan.com" or whatever it's called. I haven't actually read that book. Although I might! I'd like to start a business online, I really would.
But that's not the point, right now. ... read more

Pros: Too many, listed them in the review...
Cons: Listed in the review...
Summary: Every 100th review I write is going to be reserved for something more special to me than what I write about in the other reviews. For my 200th Epinion I chose Epinions.

Pros: Great concept, share experience with others
Cons: Hard to compare / navigate, Not enough / too many opinions

Pros: they pay you while you make Internet friends
Cons: there's an equality issue
Summary: My, how things have changed here at Epinions. In the beginning, when I started back in mid-Dec. last year, you could write on pretty much anything and get compensated quite well for it. It didn’t matter if you liked to write editorials (like I do) or ... read more
