Advantages: everything

Disadvantages: the production of overly analytical thought processes

Ok, since you've found your way to this review, I'm going to assume you don't need me to summarise what dooyoo is/where it can be found, so I'm going to go ahead and tell you why I love it. I joined dooyoo for 2 reasons, 1) to make a bit of cash and 2) because I've always wanted to be a music journalist and this is probably the closest I'm ever going to get to fulfilling my dream.

So I can normally be found reviewing music, DVDs or food. Food reviews normally occur during dinnertime, when you end up sitting with your yogurt/salad/chocolate bar and analysing every single bite for flavour/texture/gooiness.

I suppose that this is, for me, the biggest disadvantage of dooyoo. There are times when I'm sitting at home watching a film, and I'll suddenly start disecting every little moment, thinking about how many stars I'd give the film, and how well/badly the actors are doing at portraying the roles, whether it is in tact with the historical context...

However, the negatives are vastly outweighed by the positives. Like today, I had a spare hour, so I had the joy of listening to Bowie on repeat whilst writing about Hunky Dory. It was possibly one of the best hours in my short life.

I think that if you're only here for the money, this would be a bit repetitive. But I believe the majority of good reviewers here have a passion for something, be it music or books or technology or food. And that's why I love this site. Because we can all be here and share our experiences and let people out there know that this *is* worth buying or this *isn't* worth buying.

I suppose, in a sense, this site is about sharing. Sharing and caring and helping and informing and letting people know the truth. How very helpful.

Summary: great site, if a tad addictive
