Epinions.com is a great idea that's not yet been fully realized. It allows the average Joe and Jane user to tell others about their experiences with products ranging from hotels, cars and trucks, computer software and hardware, music, movies, office supplies, gifts, sports, travel and more! I find this a HUGE benefit before I buy. We post reviews at epinions.com, and hope that you will, too, so that other folks can make informed decisions and weed out the bad stuff in our lives (that we can).
