My First Month at Epinions=)
Jan 08 '04 (Updated Jan 10 '04)
The Bottom Line Don't worry, be happy!! =) hehe
I have been here for exactly one month now, and my name is no longer sporting the "newbie tag". Most people do a "1 year anniversary" review, but I decided to go ahead and do a "1 month" one, because I have a few things that I would like to comment on...
I Love Sadam? What??
My screen name says "Sarah Loves Adam"...not "Sara Love Sadam". I have gotten many emails and comments asking why I love Sadam or telling me that I am a brave person for having "Sara Love Sadam" as my screen name. That isn't even how Saddam Hussein spells his name. Sheesh people. When I signed up for epinions, I typed in SarahLovesAdam, but for some reason, they changed it all to lowercase, so now it might be confusing to read. Oh well. And I have an H on my name. hehe=) Oh, by the way..my wonderful fiancé Adam joined Epinions too!!
My WOT
Some people are mad at me because I have 134 people trusting me already. I didn't force anybody to trust me. I don't know why they do, but I didn't make them. One member (barakah59) said that it is because of my "charismatic innocence" and several people have said that I am a "refreshing addition to the site". The people who don't like me are saying that it's just because of the write-off I started...Why would you trust somebody just for asking people crazy questions? That doesn't make any sense. I don't know the real reasons that people decide to trust me, but I hope it's for the right reasons. And don't be mad at me please=)
My Write-Off
When I finally found the "just in" page, I noticed that there were a few reviews that said "Write-Off". I didn't really know what that meant, so I looked into it a little bit. A few days later, I got one of those survey things in my email. While I was filling it out, I decided to put it on Epinions. I said that anybody who wanted to could change my answers to their own answers and submit their own survey. I was just trying to have fun. I didn't know I was "copying" whoever did the "20 things about me" and "16 things about me" write-offs (I didn't know they existed). I didn't know that people would get cranky about it. A couple of weeks after my write-off started, remnjava started another survey write-off here. I am approximately 38 entries away from beating Corpgent's record. If you want to help me out, go here=)
E-mail Alerts
If anybody has ever wondered why I'm not on their "members who are alerted when you write a review" list, it's because I use www.preview.org/cgi-bin/notify.pl (I can't get that to turn into a link). It just seems easier to me. I have alerts for about 140 people so far, and I check it every day. =)
Thank You!!
I want to thank all of my buddies, everybody who left nice comments on anything I wrote, anybody who ever wrote me a nice e-mail, anybody who doesn't hate me, these people, these people, everybody who is notified when I write a review (either by e-mail alerts or the other way), and anybody that has been or will ever be nice to me!! I hope I didn't leave anybody out!!
~Sarah~
