The Bottom Line Epinions is a great community based site which with few improvements could rise to the top.
Everyone has an opinion on something. That is what makes Epinions such a darn great idea. Basically any product I buy can be found here, and I can write (within certain reasonable limits i.e. no plagerism or cursing) whatever I want. There is the initial inclination of most to just spit out reviews as quickly as possible regardless of quality in order to make a few bucks. However, people either realize that their opinions will not be read if they terrible. In fact, most end up finding it very rewarding to have a list of opinions that is very strong with lots of "Very Helpfuls". Either that or they quit after a week. I personally am very concise in the way I write my reviews, but I make an effort to double back and make sure that what I am saying makes sense, and that I am not streamlining my ideas to much. Others can write for years on a small aspect of an issue. I suppose it is good to have reviews of the same product written in different ways (so long as all quality is strong) to ensure that all who log on find a review that suits them. I do, however, have so some things I would like improved if possible. First and foremost, the types of opinions I enjoy writing most are ones like these. When I go to look for one to write, I find that there are not a broad variety of non-product based opinions. Also, I would be much indebted if there was an easier way to surf the music section than there is now. I don't really have any ideas, but I know it is hard to find reviews of what I am looking for. perhaps catagories subdivided further? Epinions is a great idea which when improved slightly could become one of the strongest member based sites on the world wide web. Keep up the improvements and the good work! |
