Welcome to my page. My name is irrelevant, but you can call me octavarium, one of my favorite albums in the music industry and the reason I chose my username. I am very new to Epinions, but as you could probably have guessed, I did quite a bit of lurking before arriving. I think I'm already absorbing some of the finer points of the website.

How I Rate

Somewhat Helpful - Somewhat Helpful reviews are generally one paragraph long, constructed poorly, and contain nothing but a brief anecdote from the author. I've found that a lot of these kinds of reviews pop up for appliances and web services that did not work too well. A review awarded an SH from me was written in five, maybe ten minutes, and it shows.

Helpful - A Helpful review, in my eyes, features the bearings of a good review, but is rather dry and could easily be expanded on. The author usually knows about the product and has insight to share but simply did not write enough.

Very Helpful - This is the easiest rating to get from me. Write a lot in terms of content, not words, and you should get a VH from me.
