* You have a little section on your favorites marked Epinions, and that's where you keep all the unreviewed items.

* Your home page is your Epinions account summary

You only add items to your wish list that you already own and nobody else has reviewed them so you can keep your "to do" list straight.

Thanks, you got my VH rating

... you would drive more than 200 miles to review a new restaraunt.

... you don't buy a new giutsr based on the fact that someone has already reviewed it.

... you set the alarm a hour early so you can read a few reviews before work, and you're still 20 minutes late.

... Someone tells you that you've been very helpful and you say, "Thanks for the comment!"

Just my two cents :-)

You've ever taken joy in seeing your rating sway the overall rating. This goes double if there's only one other person that rated the review.

I don't actually save the reviews as drafts. I hold on to them in Word. I have 44 reviews in some stage of development at the moment, including stuff that I'm rewriting.

if you have more than 12 reviews in UNPUBLISHED CONTENT because you used/bought the product, haven't had time to finish the review but didn't want to forget about it.

Try 50-ish.... ugh.

Dang it, I only have eight. Does this make me a bad person? I am so depressed. Now I'm late again for two appointments. Oh well, they'll get over it.

These are pretty funny - I know that Doc and I have traded more than a couple suggestions for books. I have one more:

...if you have more than 12 reviews in UNPUBLISHED CONTENT because you used/bought the product, haven't had time to finish the review but didn't want to forget about it.

Nice idea for a write-off.

I do the take-out menu thing, too.

You know you're a true Epinionator if you have more business cards from places you've reviewed than from actual contacts.

You know you're a true Epinionator if you've ever looked at a product and wondered if you could cover the purchase price by writing a review.

You know you're a true Epinionator if you've ever searched your house for random items to review.

Sergio,

I have to answer yes to all of yours too.

When we are leaving a restaurant my husband asks for a 'take out menu', then tells them that I will be writing about it on Epinions.

He knows me better than I know myself.

* You can't decide which product you want to write about first.

* You have a draft from when you first started out on Epinions and haven't touched it.

* You can't wait to see the first person who rated a new review that you just published.

* Your email alerts just keep building up

* The first thing you do in the morning is check for new ratings and comments on your newly written reviews

Here's my entry
Hope you like

On number 9, I've not only thought it (several times), but have actually said it out loud! Then I followed through and e-mailed them a link to my review. Yikes, that's pretty bad.

My review : http://www.epinions.com/content_4339703940

I know I am addicted to the site, because I pride myself by knowing I have read/rated entire categories of new reviews for a specifc amount of time ;)

Thx for the opportunity to come clean about my addiction. Admitting I have a problem is a large step.

Btw, You know you're addicted to Epinions when...

~ You're watching a film and halfway through you've already chosen a title and are mentally making a checklist of good and bad points that you want to mention in your review.

~ You wake up in the middle of the night to jot down a witty title for that review you've been working on.

~ You check your new reviews at least three times before your alerts come to see if anyone has commented.

~ You actually get depressed when if no one has.
