As everyone says ? where?s the catch? £5 a review? That?s too good to be true? Well it is true, as I have received cheques about 4 times. My opinion of them might have soured now, but I?ll get to that later. I first was made aware of Smartstudents by reading a review on Dooyoo by a member saying how great it was, and the lure of £5 was pretty great. At first I was sceptical, but I thought I would just submit a couple of reviews and see what happened. On first inspection I don?t like the homepage. It is a bright yellow and just a bit to vile coloured for me. Some of the edging is light purple, so that doesn?t paint that good a picture does it? ...  Read the complete review

*IF you've got a time machine or have a pocket full of lucky rabbit feet and are sitting with your fingers, legs and eyes crossed in a field of four leaf clover. Rant type thing: One of the things which really annoys me about dooyoo and sites like it is that old opinions, which are not necessarily true any longer sit proudly near the top of category sections, often wearing nice golden headgear whilst completely misinforming the world because none of these sites have been foresighted enough to work out what to do with time-sensitive information. The internet categories are the very worst for this because as we all know, things change fast online, ...  Read the complete review

When I first head about the Smart Students opinion site (www.smartstudents.co.uk) it seemed to be the answer to every opinion writer?s dreams as the reward packages associated with Ciao and Dooyoo were starting to get rationalised - the promise they made was that you could write on virtually any subject you wanted and they would reward you with the unheard of sum of a fiver for each opinion you published. Right, I'll have a bit of that, I thought. Like most of these things, though, were limitless rewards are promised there was a fair degree of scepticism that lurking somewhere in there must be a nasty catch. I mean we've all been bombarded with news of ...  Read the complete review

I became a member of this site after reading an op about in on dooyoo a while ago. On my old computer the site kept on making my computer crash and it was take a rather long time to load up. But, on a fast modem it works and loads up really quickly. The site is designed for students in mind however it doesn?t mean that if you are not a student you are banned from the site. Far from it. For students this is a really good site, it has information on most of the universities in England and Wales. Along with courses offered which is especially useful since many students who haven?t chose a course will be doing so. There?s also sections on music, books, ...  Read the complete review

~ ~ This site first made its appearance on the Web at the back end of last year, (2001) and having heard on the “opinionated community” gossip grapevine that they were paying £5 per opinion posted, I was naturally enough tempted to go and have a look at what it was all about. Especially as dooyoo (and Ciao) had both cut their payment rates about this time, and it was becoming harder and harder for me to make enough earnings to cover the cost of my Internet connection. (there’s STILL no 24/7 connection here in Ireland) ~ ~ Smartstudents is very much like dooyoo, Ciao, epinions, or any other opinion site, with the exception that it is designed, ...  Read the complete review
