How to write reviews the right way!
Probably the most annoying thing you can come accross on the web is a bad review. These typically emerge from personal sites, where people have nothing to talk about except their two-lined length paragraph description of their fluffy cat with a picture next to it.
The internet is big, it's getting bigger and more idiots are making personal sites lately. As if that's not enough, the vast amount of WYSIWYG applications out there are not helping to improve the situation either, and lately even web hosting services include such developing tools in their packages. This results in both poorly designed pages, lack of content and, which often leads to bad reviews!
My point here is, people have nothing to say so they "brag" about their new iPod, by writing a simple "I like it, it's white and it plays my music well, I specifically like this and that...". For the willing, please read the following, it might just help you write a better review next time.
If you don't have anything to say, don't say it!
If you don't have the inspiration to write something good and useful to others, just don't. "Bragging" is lame and it doesn't help the world. What use is a review if it can't be valued? We're not interested in your new 19" LCD monitor, your new mobile or any such things. People can find such reviews on the supplier's website, or a simple google search will bring up hordes of reviews. Only write something if you really know about it.
Do some thorough research
Make sure to do some research about the product you're reviewing and prove to your readers that you're not just a lamer writing a bunch of useless text to fill up screen space. Provide facts and if applicable, provide links to references. Try to make a fair distinction between fact and opinion and use them wisely when writing.
Statistics & technical information
A mouthful opinions is useless, provide technical information about the product and/or statistics. This gives the reader a sense of comfort, a feeling that you know the product and that will make the reader value your review.
