Advantages: The ‘payouts’ are very generous....

Disadvantages: seemingly TOO generous to be real!?

As a ‘patron’ of both sites, I have managed to resist the temptation of just blatantly ‘cutting and pasting’ my opinions onto both sites and then claiming they’re originals (check me out....I’m no liar as I’ve proved regularly) (there’s no escape as I’ve proved on more than one occasion and I might hire myself off as a trouble-shooter!)..

Neither site strictly has the advantage over the other although if pushed (and I mean that most sincerely), ‘dooyoo’ wins on points (on a lesser par to choosing who you like best....your mother or father).

‘Ciao’ never seemingly retaliates against the members who’ve wronged against them (blatantly crappy opinions that should be removed, copied opinions that fringe upon others, etc;), neither does it have a facility which entitles the user to change or reform their opinion (I’ve made the odd mistake that needs changing), and neither does it really have a ‘community’ feeling like you do at ‘dooyoo’ or the chance to be ‘paid’ at ‘any time’ (Ciao pays quarterly, apparently). It’s bonus period which seems to accumulate
yet deteriorate at the same time means that it is paying out over £50000 for this quarter alone! This is seemingly an unreal amount of money even by internet terms.

Overall, ‘Ciao’ could do with some of the ‘dooyoo’ mechanisms (such as the ‘communities’ and the ‘circle of friends’ but that’s why it makes it unique and free of potential ‘tactical’ voting) but ‘dooyoo’ could learn from ‘Ciao’ about it’s clearly stated referral system, it’s structure of ‘help’.(clearly labelled e-mail links such as technical problems and cheating).

Give it a try, you might ‘waste’ your time but what you need is the ability to get it righ
t, first time (like I
have on many an occasion).

Contact me if you want to join (that is if your intentions are genuine and not the type who bangs out 150 opinions a month....hang about that’s even better....).

P.S. Has anyone else noticed these occasional crashes on ‘dooyoo’ or is it just my ruddy computer?
