I like sharing my opinion. I would say one of the oldest activities I’ve been doing online is giving reviews and feedback on products, services and websites that I come across and use from day-to-day. One of the first websites I started going to on a regular basis and contributing to was the Epinions.com website.
Something caused me to visit the Epinions site this morning and I noticed that I’d been a member of the website since December of 1999. Over 11 years ago!
I always liked how Epinions was setup online. I liked the community feel that was generated and the interaction within the community.
To me, it was one of the first great examples of an online social website.
Are you a member of the site? If so, let me know and I’ll take a look at some of your reviews and maybe add you to my “Web of Trust” on the site.
Like I said, they’re still going strong.
These days most of my reviews that I take the time to write about are published on my blog here, but I should start adding a couple of new things on Epinions when I get a chance.
