About sweeper
Most folks from brides-to-be to business executives understand the power of on-line video. However, many don't know what is involved in video production, how to begin a video program or where to go to ask questions. As an expert in video production, I have a range of experience and have been helping individuals and businesses for years. Let me help create your most powerful messages yet. This is the stuff that keeps me busy. Despite the time needed to tend to this endeavor, I continue to enjoy visiting Epinions often. States I've visited:
As you can see, Vermont is the last state in which I've not spent any time. I had a chance a while back when I was on assignment in Massachusetts and the Vermont border was only 20 minutes away. I declined then because I want to visit New England again in earnest and see the "Freedom and Unity" state in its Autumnal prime.

On my ratings of your reviews:

Very Helpful - means the epinion is well-written, factual, comprehensive and provides readers a real service in choosing the product or service. This epinion provides compelling reasons to sway readers one way or another concerning the product or service.

Helpful - means the epinion may be well-written and factual but may not be as comprehensive as necessary. Supporting reasons may not be presented entirely.

Somewhat Helpful - means the epinion may be well written but offers only minor or trivial reasons or evidence to sway readers.

Not Helpful - means the epinions may not be well thought out. Distracting grammar errors and misspellings may support this. Errors in facts may be present. The epinion may be based on hearsay rather than on first-person experience. The epinion provides little to no reasons to sway readers. Or, simply, the post abuses the Epinions TOS.

Of course, these are just guidelines. I don't necessarily have to agree with your point of view to rate your review a "Very Helpful" while I may totally agree with your point of view but find your review less than recommendable because of a lack of substantiation. Which brings me to a point.

Entitling your review "Best Movie of All Time" or "Worst Book Ever Written" should be supported by more than a couple paragraphs. Assigning a superlative in your review title backed up with no reason or, at best a tenuous one will certainly not be rated very highly by me (or any other objective reader) even though I might agree that "True Lies" is the Best Action Movie Ever. I'm a show me YOU believe it before you ask me to believe you kinda guy. I like a little passion with your reviews. Humor scores big time. I don't think I'm alone in these sentiments. I hope you're having as much fun with Epinions as I have.
