"Advertising may be defined as the science of arresting the human intelligence long enough to get money from it." - Stephen Butler Leacock

{This quote, tho related to the below blog due to the correlation of selling products, is not meant in any way to detract from the below website. I love Viewpoints, because its by consumers of the products like you and me - you're encouraged to write your own reviews of whatever you wish - and this helps protect us from the tricks and lies of advertizers.}
===================================================
Great Social Website, with REWARDS EARNED occasionally by writing a specified number - usually about 5 - of PRODUCT REVIEWS, for anything you want to write about, from your favorite pencil to the worst car you've had, from the best fast-food restaurant to your favorite local restaurant etc; you choose what you wanna write about. Then the next time you are considering a purchase, or you want to try to find a better everyday product than the one you've always used, but there are so many you don't know where to begin (and don't wanna waste money by buying one worse than the one you're replacing) etc, do a search for it on this site and see what others have to say. Search for a general product like "cosmetics" or more specifically "lipstick", or search a brand name, such as "Cover Girl" or "Cover Girl lipstick". If you don't find what you're looking for exactly, ask someone to give their opinion.

This is the link to one of my favored websites. Viewpoints is a social site, with profiles, tags, photos, etc, but the main point is that its a product review site. Planning on a big purchase? Check here to see what others are saying about specific brands and their experiences with products, companies, and services.
Found something you just love and you wanna tell others about it? Did you get ripped off and wanna warn others? Treated badly by customer service and wanna strike out for vengeance? Write your own reviews. They also offer occasional incentives for writing reviews, for example, now they're giving away a $25 restaurant card to anyone who writes 5 reviews.
Check 'em out, see everything they have, look around, and join if you wish. Look me up and we'll be friends if you like, or just send me a message if you like the site, or whatever.
