To be honest, I haven’t noticed this particular banner on dooyoo for quite some time. However, not being one who is easily discouraged once I have decided to doo anything, I checked this site out and, as you will be able to see from the opinion that follows, I am truly glad that I did. On their publicity 'bumph,' their logo says, “Where women find answers” and that is as good a way of describing this Internet site as any other. I first came across iVillage many moons ago, when I was a mere beginner at the dawn of my Internet experience. In those days, I found iVillage to be an excellent site, with loads of interesting ...  Read the complete review

This ad grabbed my attention, which is quite a feat in itself as I have a very short attention span. It is slightly mysterious as it does not say what i/village is, but it still entreated me to link to it. The lure of finding out more about your name is a fantastic way to get ppl to link to it as we are now all obsessed with getting in touch with our 'real self', and anyone with a childlike mind (like me) can be amused for ages typing in the names of everyone and anyone they know just beacuse. Also the use of the Mona Lisa leads you to think this is a sophistcated website, which I believed to be some kind of database of a kind of personality test ...  Read the complete review

I spend a lot of time at ivillage, and although they often have this banner on their site, it really desn't convey anything of what the place is actually like. I like I village, it has a sense of humour and plenty of useful stuff. There is the odd sex survey and tips, which are fun, but its somewhere you'd go just for sex talk. It's a good location for women online and a god online comunity. I don't know why they thought this banner would be a good thing to use. On to the banner itself. I like the frequency at which this banner changes - it doesn't cause an irritating flicker in the corner of the eye and leaves the content on for long enough that ...  Read the complete review

It degrades men and pandas and is only aimed at women, I think it should have men who act like women and dolphins. It seems to me like a blatant attemt to start a sex war. I will be writing to my MP about the politcal incrrectness of this sexist advert. It very offensive and should be removed. This is just my opinion, but I guess us men need to stand up for our rights! As for the last 30 years women have had everything handed to them on a plate. Higher payed, better hair and handbags. Something must change ...  Read the complete review

Well I'm assuming this belongs here in the iVillage banner section, but so far what I see is not so good. I mean do they think they HAVE to put that much on their banner??? As far as I'm concerned that is too much information in too little space, something simpler would have done the job much better. Maybe even having a better animation or put the information in a rolling format that lets you see a part of it at a time, after all it would be easier to read and that's what people are doing, looking at the banner reading the info and making a decision on whether to click on it or not. *UPDATE* I've actually seen another ...  Read the complete review
