I am familiar with mouthshut.com since 2005 and I checked it often, read the reviews. It has even helped me to take final decision on any purchase including insurance policy. I have become member of this site only around a month ago. I have been enjoying writing reviews here. I could start writing on it earlier, but honestly I really liked to read reviews of people, never thought to share it on the web. Some of my friends were regular writers on this site, but now they have become irregular. I have started with new force and I have mentioned about all these stuffs in my previously written blog.
This time I want to express my opinion about the present "Write Share Win " contest and its significance while writing reviews on Mouthshut.
First of all, we have to remember that it is a consumer review portal and people are allowed to write about the experience about any particular product or service in form of a review. So, the main objective of all these reviews are to create awareness among the people, so that they could take their own decision based on the written reviews. So, the reviews are nothing but your own experience while purchasing a product, while opting for a service, while visiting a website or visiting a new place etc etc.
Usually, we always talk to our relatives or friends about our own good or bad experience about anything. But, they are only limited to the known circles only and facts may get pirated from people to people gradually. Internet has the power to spread your opinion worldwide and numerous people can be benefited from it creating a great awareness!
So, one can easily understand the usefulness of such consumer review site. Therefore, being a responsible member of this community, it is our noble duty to write reviews based on our true experience. We should not write a review just for the sake of it. It is not a place to showcase your imagination. Yes, this blog section is a place where you can write your heart out. But, the review part should be based on one's practical, first hand experience only.
So, if you want to write a review of a product always choose one that you have already used, and write your real experience. If you want to review about a place, always choose a place that you have already visited and mention all the details that you liked about the place or disliked. It should not be like a beautiful story, just write your own experience, that is it! People will just come to know about the pros and cons.
This contest is certainly acting like a motivating force to write more reviews for all of us. But, the concept of this amazing contest is justified if we write only genuine and real experienced based review, not a hypothetical one.
If we want to make this contest the most happening one, our focus should be only on writing about our own experience. It is the only way to increase the value of your reviews on Mouthshut and here lies the true significance of this contest.
I have just written my own opinion based on my own experience and observation. Please feel free to express your comments or feedback.
HAPPY WRITING!
