dooyooCommunity Guides

 

Feeling lost? You need a Guide!

The dooyooCommunity Guides are active dooyooers who are experts in their categories and all things dooyoo. They are a great resource for new members finding their way around the site, or even for longer standing members who have specific questions about dooyoo. Guides also help us to keep an eye out for abuse on the site, reviews that have been posted in the wrong category, and of course those extra special reviews that deserve Crowns. If you have any questions about the site, how to improve your reviews, which category you should post your review in, or anything else dooyoo-related feel free to contact any of our friendly dooyooCommunity Guides.

Greetings from Mr Aural Pleasure!

The worlds of Dooyoo are alive with the sound of music!!

Music, being the vast and varied beast that it is, comes in many different forms, so there will always be something for you to enjoy. Of course, you need the equipment to play your favourite tunes on and that's where the Audio/Hifi category comes in!

OK, so finance might not be the most inspiring topic but we all need money and the better we can make it work for us the better. Let us know about your experiences of financial products and institutions, what's good and what's bad.

Reading books hasn't become an obsolete hobby (yet). If you're a bookworm, tell us about the books you've read. Praise the brill ones, make a hatchet job of the bad ones - in short: give us your opinion! But never, ever, tell us the whole plot, that's an absolute no-no hereabouts.

Whether you're a student or retired we've all got something to offer about life at school, uni or in the workplace. What (other than the money) makes you go into work each day? Why did you pick your job/course? What's the training like? Help others make informed choices by sharing your experiences. They're far more valuable than any prospectus.

Hey, how did this happen???? Oh well, seeing as I've been here nearly 8 years I suppose I ought to contribute a bit more than a few well-meant comments here and there!

So, what do I know about Computers? Well, I suppose I must have picked up a few things in the 37 years I've worked in IT. Mind you, as I'm now retired I thought I'd put all that behind me! But, if you feel that you would like some advice or guidance then that, it appears, is why I'm here. So, don't be shy; get in touch and I'll do my very best for you.

Oh, and I will be reading all your reviews and opinions so, don't be surprised if you see more of my comments popping up, at least in the Computer category.

Greetings. I’m Nick, the new fish in Films. I’m particularly into foreign movies, from Japanese animes to German historical thrillers by way of an awful lot in between, but I’m just as likely to be watching big-budget blockbusters and utterly low-brow comedies.

I especially like to read reviews that disagree starkly with my own perspective, so opine away!

There is nothing more important in life than films, from the big Hollywood blockbusters to some small indie film via some obscure foreign film I love to watch them all.

I'll be bringing you reviews of all kinds as much as I can and I look forward to seeing you all do the same.
Pop by some time and say hi, I'll not bite!

I am the new guide for the Food & Drink category, and think I am perfectly suited to it as food plays a massive part in my life whether it's cooking or eating it.

I love to read about new products on the market so let's fill the category with 'First Reviews' as really there is only so much we can say about the old favourites.

I am happy to help or give advice if you're stuck, although am not the kind of person to offer my tuppence worth in the comments section. You can send me a PM if you're stuck and I'll do my best for you.

I look forward to reading your reviews.

Your body is a temple (or at least a chapel) - and there are loads of products (from those you ingest to those you switch on) to help you keep it that way.

Let us know what works for you, and what is a load of tosh - help us all to maintain a healthy body and mind.

I am sure we've all bought household appliances that have either proved to be wonderful, been disappointing or gone on to feature on "Watchdog" or blow up (well the last thing might just be me actually).

Reviews on some of the most expensive things we buy for our house can be invaluable when you are making a purchasing decision, and I look forward to reading your experiences, good or bad.

I do lots of internet shopping, for both personal and business needs, so I'll be your Internet Guide for a while. I always find it useful to find out what others think of an internet site before using it and hope others feel the same way. Whether you've had a dozen good experiences with a site or just the one, why don't you share the experience with fellow dooyooers? Or share the bad experiences too.

I am the Motors Guide which is one of the quieter sections on the site, but also one which we are more likely to research before we buy.....I aim to bring a bit of pink fluffiness to the section. No seriously, I quite like cars, I have owned about 18 or 20 (showing my age here), and had 7 company cars, (that's when I had a real job). I know how important a purchase it is, and we need as many quality reviews of ownership as possible. I love Top Gear, Formula 1 and I do read car magazines such as Auto Express.

Please remember as members, we are not writing to show off ourvast knowledge, and I do find that reviews that are way too long are a disincentive to read. It's important to think of the person you are writing for (not the guide or other memebers necessarily!) and ensure your review is a sensible length. For example, I had a restaurant review published in a travel magazine, but I had to condense it to 250 words....! It can be possible to achieve VU without writing 1000 word epics on everything. Just a thought...

Reviewing games is a bit like gaming itself. You may not understand what to do first, but once you get past the tutorial you should be able to progress through the game. Think of me as a tutorial, so if you need any advice on reviewing games, or have a question about dooyoo in general then send me a PM.

The majority of households across the country have a pet of some description nowadays and there is new products being released almost daily for our furry friends!

Why not come and tell us about the ones that get the paws up, and the ones that belong in the dog house? Or even review the animal itself?!

If you have any questions about the category, or need any help with dooyoo in general, send me a message and I'll be glad to help.

I'm Sharon and I have been a member of dooyoo since May 2001. I was formerly a guide for travel, then after a long break came back to guide the services category.

Why not tell us about services you have experienced - we want to hear about the good, the bad (and even the ugly).

Please feel free to send me a message about any category queries. :-)

Hello - I've somehow ended up being the guide for Sports.

I'm looking forward to reading lots of fabulous sports related reviews from all you lovely people.

I'm predominantly a football fan, I spent my honeymoon at a Scotland Away Game - and I only live a five minute walk from Scotland's National Stadium, lucky me!

I'll try to read all the reviews in my Category but feel free to give me a nudge if I miss your review.

Any problems, please just let me know and I'll do my very best to help out.

Cheers, Caroline xx

With a username like TheChocolateLady you just know I like to have fun. As your guide for this category I look forward to hearing about any new toys and games you've been playing with as well as what you think of the old standards. And for those oldies but goodies, don't forget that not everyone plays strictly by the rules. Let us know how you spice up playing Monopoly or Scrabble!

Remember, it isn't about winning or losing, its about how you play the review writing game!

I'm very new at this guiding game so be gentle with me.
Please let me know if there is a travel review you particularly want me to read and I will do my best to get to it.
Everybody has been somewhere and we all have our own viewpoints and tales to tell, so get writing and help the rest of us travellers know what to expect.

As an avid traveler myself I'm always interested in the experiences of others. 2009 Itinerary - three trips to my flat in Slovenia; so far (in July) one trip to Barcelona, and trips planned for Dublin (October) and a trip to Hameln in Germany (November) and Croatia and Bosnia and Slovenia (in September)

Dooyoo needs your travels reviews; whether its a hotel in Tenerife or a guide to a remote South American glacier I'd love to hear about your experiences.

Video may have killed the radio star, but I won't hold this against anyone submitting reviews in the 'Video' section.

If you're itching to write a review on anything to do with DVD players, projectors, remote controls and the like, then this is the place for it.

...I'll also try my best to make sure that it is a beautiful category to hang out in, ahhhh.

If you have any questions about the category or any questions in general about the site, drop me a message and I'll do my best to help.
