    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

    4 Stars A Ciaoist's Tale 29/08/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A pleasant pastime for a writer, and (one hopes) of some use to readers

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Falling readership, less entertainment value

    Ten years ago today, I received an email from my elder son, who was then living in Japan, instructing me to track down on the web an opinion site called Ciao, so as to read the reviews he was posting there. An ever dutiful parent, I did as I was told, even going so far as to sign on as a member. Before long, being opinionated, I was writing reviews of my own. Ten years later, he has long since lost interest (I see that his last login was in July 2003) whereas I remain pretty active. There must, presumably, be a reason. It is time perhaps to reflect on what has kept me here, and to consider ... 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

    Is there any way to change my username?

    I've had this account since I was at school, and I'm now returning to it after taking a break for university. The problem is that I've created a number of social networking accounts that I want to connect to this, but under a different username. Is there any way I can change my username, or should I delete my account and start a new one?
