    4 Stars My Name is Ami and I'm a Ciao Addict! 21/03/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages You get paid, good community spirit and easy to navigate pages.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages You should work hard to earn your money and some technical problems.

    This is one of the most exhausting reviews I have ever written . . . but I felt I had to write it because although many people have recently written reviews about ciao.co.uk, I felt that they had misrepresented our site! Most of these reviews have pictured it as the “Diablo’s” site, which is untrue. This site has been, and still is, one of the leading review sites for consumers to read reviews to help them make up their minds about a product . . . whether to buy or not to buy. I have decided to clear the mess and the misunderstanding about this site and point out the good side and the dark ... more

    2 Stars CIAO'S ABOUT THIS THEN! 17/03/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Community Spirit. Made Many Friends. Attractive Looking Site. Some Superb Writers. Photos.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Constant Technical Difficulties. Maddeningly Slow. No Site Contact. Poor Remuneration. Rubbish Surveys!

    In a sense I rather think of this review as the one that I wish I'd never had to write. I am not, in a fit of pique, sitting down writing this with steam percolating from my ears. Yes, I may be hammering my poor long suffering keyboard harder than ever over this one - but sheer damned frustration built up over the last year or so has brought me to the point where I find myself writing a review on the very site that has been my own literary "vehicle" during the last four years. It is difficult to actually put a date on the climax of my frustrations here, I guess the constant "drip, drip, drip" ... more

    5 Stars More Than Just A Consumer Resource. 05/07/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Knowledge, development, friendship and earnings

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Small minded people.

    Last year I wrote a series of opinions on my encounters with Ciao; it's been 7 months since I wrote what I said would be a series of perspectives of the site from my view point. Now 9 months (almost) on from my original opinion I thought it a pertinent time to write a piece on my views of Ciao and what it can give the user. Finding Ciao I first heard of Ciao a few years back, but in honesty I never paid it much attention; you see I was under the impression it was another "Amazon" style website. It was not until last October that in a conversation with someone that frequently uses the internet ... more

    4 Stars Easy money & lots of fun! 22/03/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A great site

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not many

    Ciao Ciao is a website very similar to Dooyoo and Epinions.The site can be accessed in several countries including the UK and Italy, and it pays you to submit your opinions on a large variety of items, as long as your reviews and writing skills are of decent standard and get rated helpful or above. Ciao is incredibly easy to use and signing up takes 2 minutes at the most. The home page of Ciao isn't anything special with a simply grey and white colour scheme, but it's easy to navigate and find whatever you are looking for due to the product catergories listed on the right hand side of the ... more

    4 Stars It's Ciao for now to the surveys... 25/01/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Can be fun, a handy writing tool and you earn pin money

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Earnings are quite small. Niggles on surveys. Ciao's apparent arrogance and laziness dealing with them.

    Today I'm going to be rated not helpful, off topic and generally slammed by all and sundry. You see, here in this Ciao section, I'm going to concentrate on one particular part of Ciao; the surveys. There is a reason for this, that is, that the chaos fairies seem to have hit Ciao again, or at least the bit that sends out survey invitations. I'm not given to moaning about this site, it's run by an amorphous corporate behemoth and anyone who thinks our views can have the remotest impact on what it does or says is deluding themselves. Yep, we really shouldn't confuse the company as a whole with ... more

    My ratings of people's questions are not showing up in my community points - am I missing something?

    When I rate someone's answer to a question, it is not being reflected in my community points, and in my statistics it still says I have not rated any answers... is there something I am missing? When I rate a review, that does get reflected in my community points, it's just my rating of answers to questions.

    Anyone have a similar problem to this when writing reviews - 503 error?

    The last review I wrote, doesn't show and comes up with this error - "503 Service Not Available. The server is currently unavailable (because it is overloaded or down for maintenance). Generally, this is a temporary state". All my other reviews are fine and I can see all the other reviews. Will I need to get Ciao to delete the review and re-write it or will it be corrected overnight?
