Advantages: Simple, Entertaining
Disadvantages: Outdated opinions, No reciprocal reads
I'm constantly amazed by how long people manage to make opinions on not very much, so when browsing through this category I couldn't believe that every other opinion on this item extends to multiple thousands of words, very entertaining (especially alkaliguru's) but not all strictly on the subject in hand. What I'm going to do then is a quick, dry, boring (I'm told I specialize in this last trait) summary of just what it is. Type in the following address into your URL. http://www.hotshotsdesigns.co.uk/random_dooyoo/ Dooyoo will pop up as normal but rather than take you to the front page you'll be taken to a random opinion taken from every single one on file. There'll also be a green bar across the top inviting you to click again to read another random opinion. The benefit is the joy of the unexpected gem that's languishing forgotten and unnoticed, and reading things that you'd never even dream of clicking on by choice but finding they're actually quite interesting. Obviously there's no quality filter so you'll bump into dross, but hey, that's a hazard of using dooyoo. It's not exactly going to get you many reciprocal reads either, so forget it if you're obsessed by Dooyoo miles. This is rummaging around in the refuse bins around the back of Dooyoo to see if you can find a mouldy old sandwich that may just be palatable. The great thing is you find an unopened tin of smoked salmon surprisingly often. This is an innovation that should have been added by the site itself ages ago; it can't be exactly complex to do for a web-programmer type. Still, who knows what delights the impending changes will bring to us. In the mean time this is a simple way of experiencing the old Python phrase: "And now for something completely different."

- 20/08/02 I've just tried this and it's great. For some reason I was expecting it to generate a selection of opinion but only one comes up (probably read the op. too fast). However, at the top it says Click Here for another opinion. |

- 04/05/02 Oops, major booboo: missed out an S on the link. I've changed it now so it's correct. You guys are too generous: with an incorrect link I'd have rated it as NU! |

- 04/05/02 Sadly, I sometimes feel that the people running DooYoo are very out of touch with what the membership would find useful. This is such a good way to get the old reviews, reviewed in a more objective way. |
