Advantages: promotes use of mind as opposed to just eyes and ears, you get paid!

Disadvantages: haven't discovered any yet - I'm quite new to this you see!

Sorry about the title there, just a little idea that popped into my head and threatened to bother me unless I acted on it.

Which is the very reason that dooyoo appeals to me so much.
An online community where you both get paid for writing reviews/opinions on things, but also where people rate your work and, in many cases, offer you advice for how to improve your writing style.

I am interested in words. There, I've said it. It may sound a bit anorak-like, but the fact that the english language can be used to paint pictures is of great interest to me. The simple way in which words can be twisted to create vastly different, or intrinsically subtle, descriptions of our world is amazing - and it is great to find a website that celebrates words.

That may sound a little hippy-ish, but in a world where the art of conversation, and the values of literature are being lost in a maelstrom of pictures and sounds it is refreshing to know that one of the biggest criminals of the promotion of multimedia over intellectual experience can also be used to encourage people to stirr their passive minds and do something active.

I hope that reading this may have been of some use,although not a factual review of the sites capabilities (there are many of them I'm sure in this topic), I wanted to highlight a kindof social importance to this site.
Although the opinions asked for may not always demand the most mentally challenging of responses, I believe the fact that the mind is being used to formulate and create works of literature in its basic form, ie: something to read, is a great thing in today's society of images.

Happy writing
Barry
