Ciao Bing design Introduction For all you who have been on Ciao for a while, you will all know there have been some changes to Ciao this month, if you didn’t realise, this was because of the site been run on the Bing design. This only came into force in November, and so, with all new things, there have been some issues in getting the site sorted out, and this has caused some upset among the members of Ciao. For you who have only very ...
...design has only been on Ciao for, well less than a month, Ciao can be let off slightly and given some time to sort the issues. So what IS Bing?

Review of Ciao Bing design (since Nov 2009)

Community Points

Advantages: Over view of points levels
Disadvantages: None

The comments made by this member are well thought out, it is a fair comment to state that new members my rate people with a higher colored rating as trusted. Though some of this members may for get that they are not doing themselves any favors, by say rating an orange colored member is a preferred member, thus in turn the orange member gaining more points.

Review of Member feedback on Ciao Community Points

inadequate facilities

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: many shops have closed, lots of yobs

I went to this mall on Saturday and found it lacking in basic amenities for anyone with a baby or children. "Passion for perfume", "inspire jewellery", and "pine and oak" are all shops that have closed or about to close - there were many unlet units and to be honest there was only Primark, new look and a few others left. I found the prices in New Look were double those in my hometowns branch. It was a drab and dreary mall with noting of any interest. ...
...available for prams or wheelchairs. Inside was very dirty with unswept walkways and lots of yobs hanging around in gangs. Finding a seat to sit on was impossible although to be honest I lost any desire to stay in the place. If you are rich and do not mind spending twice the price as anywhere else then this is the place for you. I also found it a nerve racking experience and never felt comfortable with so many dodgy gangs hanging around . ...

Advantages: See text.
Disadvantages: See text.

I would just like to write a review onquick reviews, something I am sure that many of have actually come across but have not written (or at least not that we would care to admit to though in any case). I am not in any way in favour of these, and I would just like to give my reasons as to why this so please listen. In terms of being in favour of writing a quick review, it does exactly what it says on the tin - it is quick, and therefore is not as ...
...it does also get you a quick point or two - but in my own opinion, writing a quick review is not enough as we shall see now. In my own mind, I have got this notion that Ciao is all about trying to encourage others in to using a product by writing a good review that people think that that product/ item/ service etc is the greatest thing since sliced bread; instant coffee, and Eastenders. But in order for that to happen, surely the review needs to ...

Ciao - Home of the perfect review?

Advantages: In theory, Ciao could revolutionise shopping
Disadvantages: In practise, it doesn't.

There is a scientific basis for the possibility that websites such as Ciao can provide a perfect review of their subject, providing a database that reviews each subject in such a manner that everyone can find the information they need to make their buying decision. Sounds like nonsense, I know, and there are some important prerequisites that have to be met first, but there is actually a fair bit of evidence to show that this could be the case in ...

Problems like finding a single monetary value for an enormous diversified, multinational company such as Shell, for example, or predicting the future result of a horse race, or evaluating where the best value for money lies in the digital ...
