The Bottom Line I love Epinions and everyone in the community!!

Nonsense:

I love you guys here at Epinions, I think that you are so nice and friendly, bar one or two idiots like Muzic and I’m sure that you think this too, please don’t check him out as every time you rate his opinions not helpful he gets 1 cent and which of course he doesn’t deserve. I just love the feeling of getting a new comment, email and/or new ratings, as long as it’s not saying how rubbish I am at writing opinions. So far I have 31 trustees, I trust 18 people and I have written (after publishing this review) 40 opinions, so this is an anniversary review!!

I’ve got 31 definite people trusting me including Cripper, Mummummum, Smile2k1, Nic60, Krashlite2, hollegolightle, etc and many others who don’t trust me yet, such as Melissasrn, daisymae76, Suzer, Pffrdfus7, Madyl etc etc!! I admire their work, as they are all wonderful reviewers and very kind to me too! They all give me advice, to make my reviews as good as they can get, hehe!!

Epinions is like a drug, as I am sure most of you know, and I a way it is really bad, because if you wanted to quit Epinions, then you would feel like you have let the community down! I really do love Epinions, the only problem is, is that I go on it instead of doing my homework and I get really addicted, so yeah it’s like a drug. I think there should be an association called Epiniacs Anonymous, do you agree??

I’m am not in it for the money; this is not because I’m not a material girl, but because there’s no point in being in it for the money, as you hardly get any unless you have been on Epinions for years and have written a million reviews!! If I was so desperate for the money, then I would get a babysitting job etc. I’ve been on Epinions for 5 months and so far I have earned under $18 not that good is it?? Also because I live in England I have to make $100 before I can redeem it, and that’s not very fair either is it??

I know of many editors, whose balances are probably in the thousands by now. I think this is incredible and for them I am very pleased!! Furthermore, the devotion everyone puts into it is very rewarded in many other delightful ways, for example, by having as many trustees as Michael Jackson has had nose jobs, and getting very encouraging comments and emails!! Thankyou all!!

ON the other hand, I’m only 15 and have no job, as you have to be 16, (woo in a few months) to even step out of the house in our country, so any money I can make at Epinions, is more money than I would have had!! I think that when I redeem the money (which as I said before has to be over $100) I will save it up and get something really useful, like University books, etc and give the rest to either my brother or charity.

The best of my web of trust:

Smile2k1:
Is such a lovely girl, her reviews are always long, interesting and funny (like mine hehe), and I want you all to trust me AND trust her, Thankyou!!

Nic60: Very funny, has her own style (mad!). She is a fountain of knowledge of all rock and alternative music. Visit her if you want information overload of Linkin Park.

Marie_: She writes wonderful reviews on a variety of different products, to suit everyone’s needs. She seems to love Blackadder, and who doesn’t?

Krashlite2: Very, very good, you must visit Krashlite2!!

Hollegolightle: Very good writer, mostly writes about beauty products like I do, hehe!

All the other people I have trusted are amazing too, they should keep up the excellent work and DON’T give up!!

My criteria for trusting people is:

To be trusted by me you must, (and please don’t think I am A: Pompous or B: Patronising!!):
1. Write long, interesting reviews.
2. Must have something in common with me (anything!!)
3. You must be kind, like most of you are anyway.
4. Don’t give discouraging comments or unnecessary not helpfuls, just because you have a different opinion.
5. Don’t revenge rate.
6. Write regular opinions, if you have the time of course.

If i could i would trust pratically everyone, you all deserve a lot more praise than you get!!
This whole review has basically been about how nice everyone at Epinions is, so please don’t shatter my illusion. I love everyone, and as soon as I am able to I am going to put a heart onto my bio picture!! I wish you all a good day and if anyone is suffering out there, I am here for you!!

Thanks for reading Rach xx :-)

May your web of trust prosper!!
