The TRUE EPINIONATOR Write off

Apr 30 '05

The Bottom Line Are you a true Epinionator? Answer these questions and find out.

I've gotten quite a few comments on my "Jeff Foxworthy move over - Epinions is here" essay. The subject was to replace the endless Redneck jokes with endless Epinions jokes. I decided to make this a write-off, you can invite yourself and anyone else you think has time for this.


So how do you know if you are a true "Epinionator"?

Answer these questions and find out.

1. Have you ever purchased a product or service you did not need, just so you could review it?


2. Have you ever purchased a product or service you did not need or want, just because it has received a good rating on Epinions?



3. Do you routinely go to the Epinions page before you take a shower or get dressed?



4. Do the number of alerts you get far outweigh the number of junkmail you have in your inbox? (If you don't know what alerts are, skip this question)



5. Have you ever cancelled or postponed an important appointment because you weren't done reading or rating?



6. Do you feel guilty if you write less than 2 reviews per day?



7. Have you ever considered taking out an Equity loan on future Income Share?



8. Have you ever shared private experiences with the Epinions community before you shared them with your spouse?



9. Have you ever replaced the words "let me talk to your manager" with "I will give you a bad review on Epinions?" you don't actually have to say the words, here it's the thought that counts



10. Have you ever spend more money on a product, because the cheaper version has already been reviewed?



CONGRATULATIONS - HERE ARE YOUR TEST RESULTS

If you've actually answered these question - YOU ARE A TRUE EPINIONATOR

If you've only read the questions, but didn't feel like answering them because you were busy writing a review on a separate screen - YOU ARE A TRUE EPINIONATOR

If you've read the questions, have not a clue what this is about, but answered them anyway -YOU ARE A TRUE EPINIONATOR

If you've read the questions, have not a clue what this is about, but like the answers other people have given - YOU ARE A TRUE EPINIONATOR

If you've found Writer's Corner - YOU ARE A TRUE EPINIONATOR





Here are a few comments I have received (credited to each author). The last three are from Doc (like you didn't know that). I posted all of hers, because I know who to brown-nose around here.

You know you are a true Epinionator if...

... you get the wrong order at the grocery store and mark your receipt "OT".(germank106)

...you wonder why your friends and co-workers won't call you by your Eps user-name. (sleeper54)

... if you look at your Scholastic book order as 7 new reviews! (kamel 622)

...you have ten revisions of your grocery list, and the last one is done with the spellchecker on. (renata77)

...when you look at your revenue for the month and think 4 cents is pretty darn good for a review that took you two hours to write (PattyTherre)

...If you're in the toy section of a store and someone picks up a product that your child has and you give that customer the low-down of the product (jchapkovich)

... if you wake up in the middle of the night, write one paragraph of a review and go back to sleep. (True story -- I still haven't finished the review but it has a GREAT opening paragraph!) (dizzybint)

...Tom refuses to eat at a restaurant he's already reviewed.... (drdevience)

...My reading list is 100% dictated by book reviews I've read here. (drdevience)

...Movies go on the Netflix queue based on how many reviews they have. (drdevience)
