epinions.com
Hello all,

I hope this is the right forum...

I am an epinions.com member.

You probably know that DealTime and resellerratings have close working relationships. DealTime just announced that it is buying epinions.com, so you may see epinions.com members appearing here.

Just wanted to let you know and say hi :-)

Here are links to the officilal announcements.
They are identical, but epinions.com added a FAQ to it.

DealTime.com's announcement

epinions.com's announcement

epinions.com FAQ about the deal

P.S. if you really want to know about epinions.com, allow me to shamelessly plug EpinionTalk: The Unofficial Epinions.com Dictionary (ET:UNED) as an epinions.com cram course ;-)

Welcome mobiprof!!

We welcome all new members to TechIMO, so it'll be great to see an influx from epinions.com.

The more the merrier!!

TechIMO is the best tech support forum around, IMO!

Cheers
Mick

edit: maybe we should become TechIMeO - In My e-Opinion!

epinions is a good source of reviews, but a lot of the ratings are inaccurate. Still, I haven't found a product it doesn't have reviewed!

New York Times reporting on the deal:
http://www.nytimes.com/2003/03/12/te...e247c3&ei=5062

The epinions.com CEO quote is priceless:
"We felt we couldn't finish what we started because we had a little problem," said Nirav Tolia, Epinions' chief executive. "We needed a viable business model."

BTW, you never found anything that had not bee reviewed yet? Wow... (speechless with incredulity)
