It will be my 10th anniversary with Epinions on December 12th of this year. The site was new in 1999 and I came across it when I was looking for a vacuum cleaner. The reviews were short and curt back then but, over the years, the site has blossomed and produces, in my opinion, the best reviews on-line for so many products.
I have taken hiatus a couple of times but have always come back. I spent a year as a Top Reviewer and have also been awarded a place in the top 200 reviewers which flatters me greatly.
Granted, back in the day, I was attracted to the income share but now, I find reward in knowing that I might help a few people in their purchasing decisions.
Of course, the greatest reward was getting to know so many new people and, over the years, I have made many new friendships at Epinions. I also keep in contact with fellow reviewers who have often made my day with a thoughtful comment or a welcome e-mail. Many have come and gone in the period I have written on this site but the diehards are still around and have a welcome place in my e-mail box.
Conclusion: The monthly check I receive from Epinions is greatly appreciated but the quality of the Epinions community is PRICELESS.
