    5 Stars My 250th Review Review with images 07/09/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages 2 years on the site, and I've enjoyed pretty much every minute of it

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Ciao gremlins, Ciao surveys and some problems with members

    When coming up with something to write for my 250th review I was stumped, even with the help of some brilliant friends on the site, I still had no idea what to write. I even started to write a review for the Product of the Month and call this my 250th review, as this is the best summer I’ve ever had, however it just didn’t seem to work. That review was written and discarded to the side. I then began to think, I have never written a review about my time on the site. With it being my 2nd year anniversary on the site recently, why haven’t I done this review before I kept on asking myself? I hope ... more

    5 Stars Grumpy Celebrates His First Ciao Birthday By Griping 11/03/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Getting to play the grumpy old git

    Disadvantages Disadvantages May raise a few hackles...

    CIAO PET HATES "Writing is a form of therapy; sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose or paint can manage to escape the madness, melancholia, the panic and fear which is inherent in a human situation." - Graham Greene I was mildly surprised to find that Friday 12th March will mark my first anniversary here on Ciao (it feels like I’ve been here longer LOL). It’s been an eventful time. Since my first tentative steps as a “white dot” member I’ve written in excess of 100 reviews, made some brilliant on-line friends, and even managed to earn a couple of elusive diamonds. The site ... more

    5 Stars Ciao, the Craggybuk experience (controversial in places) 21/11/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great concept, fun, enhance your writing skills

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Bugs, frustrations

    Introduction I first joined Ciao in May of 2007. I had just had an operation to repair my knee after a bad footballing injury and needed something occupy my time during my month off work. I had previously done some Ciao surveys and after completing one of these, I found myself browsing the Ciao site in some detail. I wasn’t originally aware that you could write reviews, I had always assumed Ciao was just a survey site. I had always fancied myself as a writer so I thought ‘Perfect’ this will keep me entertained whilst off my feet. Without giving it a second thought, or reading any of the ... more

    4 Stars What does living in Ciaoland do to your brain? Review with images 10/09/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages In it for the experience, not the money

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Far too many to mention

    Er, I started on Ciao 2678 days ago on a Wednesday - Since then I’ve posted up 1.05 reviews a week. I was urged into writing for the online consumer while in ‘The Quad Bar’ by a skeletal Audrey Hepburn look-a-like; Miss Lendenbloom was her name (not a pseudo one), she did daily chores at Christies in London for a mere pittance. Naturally she found me ‘amusing’ and ‘bemusing’ and enjoyed getting free coffees’ from me – on meeting she’ll without fail gasp: “I’ll kill for a coffee!” Falling for the urgency, I was ‘first to the bar’; (you can see where this is going now) – amazingly, after just ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages great community

    Disadvantages Disadvantages addictive?

    My Ciao'ing so far Introduction Well members of Ciao, we are half way through 2006, and I don't know about you, but I am certainly looking forward to the summer. As of tomorrow, I am off too sunny Spain to work for the summer, modelling for various holiday brochures for 2007 catalogues. I don't often talk about my work, and I don't intend to now, maybe for a later review perhaps? What I will tell you is that I won't be on this site until the middle of September, and whilst I won't be able to read or rate reviews in that time, I will do my best to catch up when I return. So I thought what ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Talking to all the wonderful people in ciao land

    Disadvantages Disadvantages I still get sooo excited about little things - aparrently little things please little minds

    ♥Happy 8th Ciao Birthday To Me, Happy 8th Ciao Birthday To Me, Happy 8th Ciao Birthday Dear COOOEEE, Happy 8th Ciao Birthday Toooo Meeeeeeeee♥ Oh wow where can I start with this review. So many things have changed over my Eight years here and mostly in my view for the worse. After a very shaky first few months here I was determined to stick it out and am now really glad I did. I have talked to some wonderful people over the years and still miss each and every one that has decided to leave and welcomed most of those back that decided to return. Ciao is a bit like a drug, you either ... more

    5 Stars Me and Ciao so far! 02/10/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Another chance for me to rattle on about a load of rubbish!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Some of the questions weren't very easy to answer

    Ahhh I have found another one of these pieces where I can talk about my favourite topic….moi !! Thanks to Torr’s collection of wonderful pieces of writing over his years on Ciao, where I was able to find this. Here goes!!! * Q1. When and why did you join Ciao? * I joined in I think it was October of 2009 after having been on DooYoo for a couple of years. My mate Praski urged me to get going on Ciao, and at first I had some problems enrolling, largely due to some kind of gremlin which made it so that my ISP’s email and Ciao’s recruitment system were unable to communicate with one another. After ... more

    5 Stars My ciao cherry popped 13/10/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages 6 months and I am still here

    Disadvantages Disadvantages will I still be here in 6 months

    So six months on and I am still with ciao. Have reached 20k points and popped my Ciao cherry so to speak what do I feel? I was going to one of the many challenges going around, but its not really my style, instead I thought I would do a Ciaoing experience with a bit more about me mixed in. I liken myself to an onion when it comes to speaking about me. I don't have a blog nor would I ever have one, but prefer to peel away a little skin, like the onion you get the papery out side and then you get to the thicker, juicy layers underneath. So let's peel off a few more layers. How it all started I ... more

    5 Stars Tis An Art To Ciao'ing Don't Ya Think 18/08/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Tis Fun

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Tis Not Fun

    Tis An Art To A Good To A Good Ciao !!!! My Ciao habits have changed a lot over the last few years and I guess it's all to do with learning from mistakes I have made. Sometimes I guess all of us make the mistake of not remembering that that name with a coloured dot that you read and leave a comment with is a real person with feelings and problems of their own…….. For me Ciao began a few years ago now and I must admit to being totally addicted to it. "Do you not mean you were a dick to it Art". "Yeah my friend online I guess that is exactly what I was indeed". And that is what I always ended my ... more

    5 Stars Ciao changed my life !!! 03/05/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages You get an insight into my Ciaoing

    Disadvantages Disadvantages It might be a little self indulgent

    A pretty bold statement I hear you say and I might even catch a slight chortle on the wind as you think what a Pratt. How can a website change your life? Well for me it is actually true. Let me see if I can explain and where better to do that than at the beginning so join me on a trip down memory lane as I take you on a journey that has led me to where I am today. It was a cold dark afternoon on the tenth day of April in the year of our Lord 2004 and I was going through a spate of signing up for every survey site I could find and Ciao just happened to be one that I came across. It was a week ... more
