7th Annual ISYMIYSMY W/O Announcement
May 31 '07
The Bottom Line You wanted the best write off the music category at Epinions has to offer, so you get it!
Firstly, I'm flattered by the 3 or 4 emails I got asking about this this year. I'm just as flattered by the thread started at EMS asking about it. Needless to say I haven't been around much this year. Hopefully, starting with this, that changes.
Yeah, it's that time of year again...
I'd like to invite you all to the seventh annual "I'll Show You Mine If
You'll Show Me Yours" write-off. The concept of the write off is
simple: writers are paired off randomly (read: names picked out of a
hat). Each selects a CD for their partner to review. The catch is
that said CD should be something they normally wouldn't review/listen
to. So for example, an Iron Maiden fan might find himself reviewing
an R&B album, while a pop fan might end up with a jazz record.
Since putting this write-off together (giving time for responses,
pairing up, picking CDs, getting CDs, reviewing CDs) takes some time,
you should all know that I'm aiming for the middle of July or so
for submissions, though I'm open to suggestions as well.
How you get the CD is completely up to you: you can buy it, download
it, accept a burned copy from your partner, whatever. Half.com has
been a popular route in the past.
I've gotten good feedback about this write-off in previous years, and
plenty of people seem to like doing it (hence this being year #7). If
you're curious about the w/o, all of last year's entries are still on
last year's announcement page (http://www.epinions.com/content_4716732548).
So if you want in, or you have any questions, just email me at MattEpinions@gmail.com. PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR FIRST NAME, YOUR EPINIONS USER ID, AND YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT, AS THIS IS THE INFO I GIVE TO YOUR PARTNER FOR THEM TO CONTACT YOU.
One last thing: PLEASE, PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE, if you don't think you have time for this, don't sign up. I had to leave a couple of people without partners last year because their partners dropped out, and I already had 2 reviews to do. It sucks to have to do that, so please, don't get in if you can't follow through. If you need to be late or early, that's fine.
I'll do the pairings in the next 2-3 weeks. I hope to hear from most,
if not all of you.
