" Epinions Reviews on DealTime
Posted: Saturday, April 12, 2003
We have almost completed the first step in the process of integrating Epinions and DealTime. Beginning next week, Epinions reviews will appear on DealTime. Below are a few details about the integration that will hopefully answer many of your questions:
* At first, reviews will only appear in the DealTime Computers and Electronics categories.
* Reviews will only appear if we have matched our product with one of their products. In some areas in Computers and Electronics this has not been completed. Therefore, some reviews will not be available on DealTime.
* We will be tracking all visits to the reviews available on DealTime and updating your accounts exactly like we do for visits on Epinions.
* Visits to the reviews on DealTime will be factored into the monthly Income Share distribution as well as Most Popular lists.
* Only reviews which are available to logged out users on Epinions will be available on DealTime.
* We are only sending changes, such as new reviews, edited reviews, etc., to DealTime on a daily basis. Therefore, changes that you make to your content will not appear on DealTime immediately.
* At this time all product reviews which were submitted to DealTime have been removed. They will be integrated back into the site at a later date.
* All product reviews for both sites will now be written on Epinions. (At this time, Online Store reviews will still be submitted to both sites. We are working on this integration and in the near future all review writing will be done on Epinions.)
We will be holding a chat to discuss any questions about this integration, as well as to discuss other aspects of the acquisition. The chat will be held Monday, March 21st from 5:30-6:30 PDT. Please refer to the pre-chat page for the specifics. If you will be unable to attend the chat please send any questions you have to
chat@epinions-inc.com."
The chat is open to epinions.com members. Anyone who is a member can join in, and membership is free.
