Happy Anniversary

Advantages: Very flexible subject matter, quality writing
Disadvantages: Slow site, no payments, no community feel

...September 13th. When we launched writtenbyme.com in April 2000, the original format was to pay author members a portion according to the online advertising we expected to receive. In May 2001, in the light of an increasingly difficult online advertising market, we announced an alternative way to calculate the value of a Dewey - it would be the sum of our online advertising revenue divided amongst the total number of Deweys per page impression.
...quarterly online advertising revenue for writtenbyme.com has been dismal, far below our original expectations, and for this reason we are suspending the program until further notice. Additionally our media serving company (BMC Australia, served by DoubleClick) has changed its operation in the current environment & has terminated our online advertising contract ending 31 August 2001. We have sought to sign-up other online media companies without immediate ... more

SLOW slow QUICK quick SLOW - UPDATED

Advantages: maybe you'll be spotted! maybe I need to give it a fair trial?!
Disadvantages: slow, so slow, site has been down most of the day, oh and it's slow

After reading about writtenbyme.com on Ciao, coupled with this burning urge to start writing and getting noticed for it – I decided to check out this site. Firstly, I registered, this was quick, easy and fairly painless – although it asked for your postal address details and I didn’t know at this point whether they would be displayed on the site. They aren’t so it was OK! The site was average to navigate, not too complex ...
...the speed (or lack of it!) oh it is so slow – painfully slow, intolerably slow, go and make a coffee and get back to your PC STILL trying to connect to the next article type of slow – a few times today I gave up and began to get on with my work again – blimey this isn’t good you know!! When you do get going you see there are different ‘scales’ of membership; Newbie – which I am at the moment, you remain ...

Hot Off the Press, The Dying Swan

Advantages: An excellent writers site, not unlike the late lamented TS
Disadvantages: In the paraphrased words of a song from my era, "Will it stay, or will it go?"

(And the title had a ? at the end, but Ciao in its infinite wisdom, decrees that such punctuation must be in some way subversive, and is therefore disallowed.) Well, where do we start? Themestream went belly-up. The Vines couldn’t cope with the influx of ex-TS-ers, and has stopped paying for contributions. Sad, but predictable, given that within hours of TS going down, TheVines had a welcome message to TS refugees on its front page. Too much, ...
...blatant welcome. It didn’t need to. The ex-TS-ers did it by themselves. In droves, they flocked to WBM, flooding the site with not only their TS archives, but with all the self-centred, self-interest, self-promo stuff that was the downside of TS. Yes, you know what I mean. The articles, disguised as articles, that said “Here’s a list of links to all my ex-TS articles”, or “Here’s a list of links to some very good ...

Earn rewards for your creative writing

Advantages: A good platform to air your creative writing
Disadvantages: Getting reads of your work can be a long and drawn out process

Writtenbyme.com is yet another US based website offering rewards for your own written articles and open to writers from all around the world. Its a very simple to navigate site with some very interesting and in-depth articles on a range of topics. Payment is in the form of 'deweys', you earn 1 dewey every time an article of yours is read by another member and 5 deweys for the first 10 articles from any friends you have referred to the site. Once ...
...a $30 online shopping voucher from amazon.com. American residents also have the choice of store vouchers from 2 other major retailers. Writtenbyme is different from Ciao in that it encourages you to express yourself with creative writing rather than just voice your opinions on products and services. You can submit short stories, poems, recipes, personal life stories and so on, so it might appeal to those looking for a site that encourages you to ...

Recommended to me, recommended to you

Advantages: Writer showcasing to the world
Disadvantages: Don't bother with the Dewey's

I visited writtenbyme.com on the basis of squiggles opinion of the site, and now you know why she’s ‘Most Wanted’! EDIT - 14/02/01: I seem to have accused Squiggles of being 'Most Wanted', and her reaction was unfortunately 'I Wish!! Sorry for the inaccurate info, but if it makes up for it i have nominated her because I obviously thought she was good enough before, and her honesty proves it!! Perhaps I should write an op on 'How ...
...this op I am going to finish, leaving you with this last comment: As a ciao member you can write a personal opinion and consumer advice, with writtenbyme.com you can showcase your creative talent, whatever that may be, and the two combined compliment the writers and each other really well. ...

Are they dead

Advantages: Used to be good
Disadvantages: Going downhill?

The other day I opened Out look Express only to see a mammoth email from writtenbyme. It seems they are having a few troubles and are seriously changing the way they the site is run. Writtenbyme is a site like Ciao or Dooyoo where you write your opinions on things. Unlike Ciao however, writtenbyme claimed to be a writer’s site. It wasn't for consumers to read reviews of products they wanted to buy, it was just a site where you could write ...
...The site was available worldwide but was rather biased to the good old USA (If nothing else I could tell all the Americans how much I hate good ol' George 'Dubya' Bush). The premise was good in theory, and I did duly register at the site and write a few ops. Infact, I apologise, 'write' was a lie. I scavenged my hard drive for all my old essays from school back when I did my GCSE's. The nature of the site meant my essay of Hinduism would fit in very ...
