Epinions
Reviews of just about anything you can imagine
| Epinions.Com is a website that is based on personal reviews of various products by members. Just about anything you can imagine, from toothpaste to vacation destinations is in the Epinions database and you can review all kinds of things, or you can focus on certain areas where you think you're reviews are best. Members can write reviews, rate other's reviews and take part in the greater Epinions community through message boards, comments on reviews and more. Once you join Epinions, you are part of a greater community of people who are interested in presenting the best information possible to people looking at various products. | Epinions does offer an income share system for your reviews. While I can't tell you exactly how it works (because I don't know), as more people read your reviews and use those reviews to purchase various items, you will receive a percentage of the income that Epinions makes by advertising these various products. This can be a few cents a month to hundreds of dollars a month, depending on the popularity and type of products you are reviewing. |
Jeff has been a member of Epinions since the beginning of 2001 and in that time has written hundreds of reviews. Here's a quick index of those reviews, broken down into subject areas so reviews on products that you are interested in are easier to find.

| Ghost Stories of New York State | The author does an excellent job of collecting New York’s many ghost stories and melding them into a coherent collection of stories |

| Papa Ginos Pizzeria | The servings could be slightly larger and some of the flavorings could be kicked up a notch or two, but in general Papa Gino’s has some good choices |
| Kelly's Roast Beef | Maybe not quite as legendary as they think they are, Kelly’s is a decent restaurant with good food. Don’t go in expecting miracles and you’ll leave happy |

| D'Angelos | D’Angelos are located everywhere throughout Massachusetts (often in association with a Papa Gino’s – a pizza restaurant), and are also throughout much of New England |

| George Foreman XL Indoor Grill | The George Foreman XL Grill is not going to replace your outdoor barbeque, but you'll probably use it just as often |
| Black & Decker Brew & Go Coffeemaker | Nothing can beat its ease for brewing a single cup, I just wish Black & Decker would work on making that single cup taste better |
