http://www.viewpoints.com/Reviews-Web-Sites Mon, 21 Jul 2008 23:09:07 GMT Reviews about Reviews Web Sites http://www.viewpoints.com/BeautifulReview-com-review-97820 The only sites that are worth 'trusting" when it comes to reviewing any kind of product are those who don't accept advertisers. Otherwise, there will be bias. This site seems to give those products it sells the highest reviews and slams those products they don't sell.... Mon, 21 Jul 2008 23:09:07 GMT http://www.viewpoints.com/BeautifulReview-com-review-97820 FromGA 1 http://www.viewpoints.com/BeautifulReview-com-review-7d474 I came across your site today and am amazed you portray your shilling for "sponsored" products on your site allows you the unmitigated gall to qualify your "sales operation" as unbiased reviewer. — You "review" many products over the past few months and if that product competes with one of your "sponsors"  they get voted down. — As far as credibility....well you are quite good at reviewing items you don't ever try or use........must be magic:) — But then it becomes clear when no one is able to respond or comment on your reviews on that same sales site you run. — Kind of NOT like this site where someone can comment contrary to your spin...

Real people, real reviews.... and that's no lie. Beyond reviews, Yelp has other useful features that include interactive maps, message boards, and events. It's hard to go wrong with...

Before buying, many consumers consult with other people or with different sources to help make the best decision. Sites like Viewpoints.com can assist buyers by providing some solid advice, but with so many thousands of products on the market, there is a good chance that a more obscure product or service cannot be located on the internet with an informative review; or, a review can be located but will not be reviewed in a manner that is suitable for making a buying decision (with test results, comparisons with other like products, etc.). If a more thorough evaluation is what you want, then you might like ConsumerReports.org, the web site for the popular non- profit product testing operation. — — Web Site Commentary: — — Consumer Reports is part of Consumer Union- a non- profit organization that strives to protect consumers through product testing and evaluation. Most everyone is familiar with...

Well no grand entrance ,but I'll be Back ! — I have to spend a littlte more time on this site to give a honest opinion everything great so far! —...

Looking for restaurants that will offer quality food that is reasonably priced and, of course, safe to eat and offers genuine tastes of the area may often be hard to find, especially if you are unfamiliar with the region, country, or city. — Being an avid traveler of Southeast Asia for many years I came across a website called DININGINTHAILAND about a year ago that would satisfy the needs for many travelers as I have recommended the site to my travel agent friends that give their clients a heads up for dining when in the country.. So when you are preparing for a trip to Thailand and don't have a clue where to eat, this is a great reference to find the type of restaurant or cuisine you may be looking for. As far as most of the restaurants on their site that I have tried, the review is usually...

Or to whoever wants to find out what all the other average Joes think!...

I liked the site because it always pay and its not an scam site. The minimum pay out is $10. The wordlinx is paid to view ad site. It pays 0.1 c per emails. We have make an account with them. They do not send any emails to out email address but we have to check the worldlinx account to see any paid email. They do send 5 to 15 emails daily in worldlinx account daily at different time of the day. They pay via Paypal only. —  As a basic member I get to pay out level in 10 months which is $1 per month. But recently they have started to buy referral at a rate $1 (depends upon the availability). Then with referral click combine with ours will make difference. — Wordlinx is very simple to use web site. They also send reward emails time to time in our email address. The wordlinx is a proper web site and once request payment is send in the Paypal account with in a week or 5 working days. The pay is quick and smooth. The...

The food was really great and the service was excellent, but the car you recently purchased from "Honest Abe's Used Cars" broke down on the way home. — But that ain't the worst of it. Honest Abe refused to honor the money-back guarantee, so you sued him, but the law firm handling your case totally messed up your case. The law firm being "Dewy, Cheetum and Howe." — You so much want to relieve your pent up enthusiasm or hostility for various products and services. Well I can totally relate. I relieved myself by writing reviews at epinions.com, but became very dissatisfied with epinions. — I decided to try Viewpoints.com, and I am so glad I did! What a fantastic site this is! — The first thing I noticed was the photo upload feature. I didn't have to post my photos at another site and then try to link to them like they make you do at epinions. — I was also impressed when I read the fine print.... Wed, 26 Mar 2008 07:39:18 GMT http://www.viewpoints.com/Viewpoints-review-646a2 williampinn 5 http://www.viewpoints.com/Lightspeed-Panel-review-0d792 I've been doing surveys for Lightspeed for a few years now. — Their old reward system was not very rewarding. However, they now give you a $5 PayPal payment for 575 points. I like to get $5 Amazon GCs for 550 points. Short surveys (10 minutes) will give you around 75 points. Longer surveys (25 minutes) will get you 200 points or more. — You don't get any points if you try to take a survey and don't qualify, but you do get any entry into the $5,000 sweepstakes. — I get a couple of survey opportunities a week, so I earn gift certificates fairly quickly. In the past five months, I've accumulated $30 in Amazon gift certificates. — They have incorporated some checks to make sure people are answering honestly. When rating a product in certain categories, some pages will say things like, "Select 'strongly disagree' in this row." — Overall, I recommend them. Sure, there are occasional technical glitches, as on any website. But the surveys are easy and...

Fri, 14 Mar 2008 18:45:18 GMT http://www.viewpoints.com/Viewpoints-review-67b24 jasyjen 5 http://www.viewpoints.com/Viewpoints-review-95003 Basically as a first time mother to be I am trying to find information out about various baby products such as diapers.  Also attempting to do the best for the environment and keeping an open mind about my options I was interested in reading what people say about reusable diapers (they are so modern compared to the 'old' days) but there are SO many different types and brands out there it is hard to find a good review about different types or brands and I thought Viewpoints would be the perfect place to go.  — Alas, there are very few reusable diapers on the site from what I can see BUT the biggest problem is that ALL diapers are categorised together and you can't distinguish your search by disposable and reusable.  So I think the search topics need to be a little better identified.  I think there is great potential for the site and as more and more people get to know the site the number of reviews will grow and hopefully at some stage reusable and... Tue, 11 Mar 2008 05:18:58 GMT http://www.viewpoints.com/Viewpoints-review-95003 Castle 3 http://www.viewpoints.com/Viewpoints-review-ea722 I have just joined the Viewpoints.com web site.  It is so nice to read reviews from other parties on items of interest to me.  In return, it is great to rate and voice my opinions or concerns on items that other people are interested in.  I feel the best views are word of mouth.  To read what other people think or feel makes everything very real. — ...

It does not matter what I put I always get this error. I never use any punctuation. and sometime I just do not have a con but I MUST pick ONE from the alread usless...

Other sites often do not have hard-to-find items, or they are just difficult to navigate. If you are looking for a general product, it will offer several items to compare. It also has a seller rating, an option to compare the price with tax & shipping, and an availability status so that you know before you even go the seller's website whether it is available or not. This site has saved me lots of time and money.... Tue, 19 Feb 2008 23:29:32 GMT http://www.viewpoints.com/PriceGrabber-review-87023 TJ 5
