These are my experiences with an Indian consumer feedback site mouthshut.com. Its operations are shady. It does'nt have a proper privacy policy. In fact it don't respect your privacy or care about your freedom at all. The only way to contact other members is through their internal messaging which they call M2M. You send a message today and it will reach the receiver tomorrow after the mouthshut team and probably it's CEO goes through it. If they don't like your message they simply delete it. Member logins are disabled and entire user profiles deleted without any prior notice.These don't seem to be isolated incidents they are the norm at mouthshut. The site rejects ...  Read the complete review

Mouthshut is a review site which someone commented as an illegitimate nephew of dooyoo.com, from day one this site which is run from a slum area in Mumbai is copying intellectual properties of other websites including look and feel, content and everything else. It used to look ditto like epinion. Mouthshut is there for 10 years but still unable to find an investor for itself mainly because no one believes it's content. The owner Faisal Farooqui thinks he is wiser than Bill Gates and has a army of people who manufactures reviews by which it creates some hype. But things are going too bad for him as India's premier car manufacture Maruti Suzuki caught them red ...  Read the complete review

Mouthshut is another site where you write opinions and are supposed to get paid. It is just like Ciao and Dooyoo. It is based in India, but people from all over the world go on this site. To go on to Mouthshut go to www.mouthshut.com You then give some information, like your name and address. Then you are ready to start reading and writing opinions.

This does not seem fair, as they should pay everyone. Once you join, the site does not tell you how to cash your points or how much ...  Read the complete review

I came across Mouthshut in August 2001 and have hardly missed a day in writing and reading the numerous reviews on this site. It is a site similar to Dooyoo, based in India. Becoming a member is free and very straight-forward using your own details and choosing a user name and password.

About a month ago, I joined MouthShut. Now, I am a member of this site (obviously) as well as Epinions (though I'm terribly fed up with them for playing games with their members), and of course at Ciao as well. I'm not doing this "writing on the Internet" thing for money, folks. I have no bills. I live at home with my parents. WHY do I need a "second income" - especially one as small as this type of thing generates? I don't. Besides which, I live in the United States. That means most non-American sites won't pay me regardless of how well I write, how many of my pieces get rave reviews, et cetera. I'm not asking for ...  Read the complete review
