    Advantages Advantages I hope it will help new people on here.

    CIAO MEMBER PAGE *********************** When this category was first put on the site, the member page used to be called the Community Page. Now it is called the Member Centre. This is the hub of Ciao, and there is a button at the top of the page when you are logged in that takes you to the Member Centre. Here, you can search for another member by name, by typing their name in the search box at the top of the page and pressing search. This is a handy item when you have read something by a member and want to get back to their page. ANNOUNCEMENTS ********************** This is a useful section ... more

    Advantages Advantages Lists.....

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A little dictatorial

    Ah lists, lists... how we journalists love lists. Top ten sexiest women, top five bestselling novels, 100 Best Singles of All Time.... we love them because they give us a chance to write nonsense, to pointlessly pit one great book/record/actress/whatever against another, to start endless arguments about what the best whatsit ever might be... and how much fun we have doing it. And there's one other very important reason we love lists: they sell newspapers and magazines. How many times have you seen a magazine cover advertising it's guide to the top 100 movies of all time? The top 10 sexual ... more

    4 Stars Is it truly communal... 13/06/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Interesting lists!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not very interactive

    Ciao has a community centre – some newer or occasional members may be unaware of it as it is not widely advertised on the pages of Ciao. It boasts “It’s your Ciao! Make the most of your membership” – but how I wonder? To me a “community” suggests interaction – agreed Ciao itself needs that all the time with all the writing, reading, rating and commenting but coming to the Ciao “Community” centre no interaction is possible/involved. I think another member mentioned in their opinion recently that maybe it was incorrectly or misleadingly ... more

    1 Star An Evaluation 23/03/2001
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Um

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Where do I start

    If at first you don’t succeed try, try again. This is my second opinion posted in Community Centre. The 1st was only used as a gateway for something totally irrelevant and irreverent and was subsequently deleted, so this time I’ll try to stick to the subject. LOL. Ciao is essentially a consumer page where Tom, Dick or Harry, without registering, can view the members evaluations of a product. This is how Ciao can afford to give members payment for contributions. It is the life blood of this site and should be supported to the horizon BUT there should be scope, in my opinion, for ... more

    Advantages Advantages Motivation, extra exposure and praise

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A lot of members are against it

    Community Centre The Ciao Community Centre was introduced to us just over a month ago now and it has sparked a little controversy amongst the Ciao members. Here is my opinion on the community centre and after reading many other opinions I hope to be able to inform new and old members of some of the advantages and disadvantages of the centre and what my overall thoughts are. So let’s start with the features: Newsflash ~ This section has all the latest news updates on what is happening on ciao and what is happening on Ciao. You will find information on the premium fund and how much it is for the ... more
