Ever since I signed up to mouthshut I cannot keep my mouth shut!
Alaina, a Mouthshut member since November the 15th 2002, has written twenty-one reviews and has a trusted circle of twenty-eight people and has been highly recommended in fourteen of her reviews to this very day. That’s not bad considering I’m just about to turn sixteen.

It’s hard today to express your own opinion; it’s hard to find the right time and most importantly the right person to share it with. This is where Mouthshut comes in to rescue. Mouthshut has provided me a place to share my opinions, it has made me more conscientiously aware about what other people think about, and it has enhanced my ability to write-and boy has it ever. You should take a look at my very first review; it’s about the Devdas music album. Here is the review….
“I luv this album. The songs disperse so much energy as soon as you press play!!You cant sit still in ur seat when u hear them. My fav song out of all of them would have to be maar dalla. It is sung superbly and I have to give Kavita Subramaniam and K.K a lot of credit towards this song which they have made to the finest. I luv silsila yeh chahat ka aswell. Shreya Ghosal is an amazing singer aswell. Her song silsila yeh chaahat ka is sung beautifully. I believe this album should be given a 9/10.All the songs in this devdas album are of high quality and standard. I cannot compare this album to any other because I think that it is one of a kind. WELL DONE DEVDAS!!”
This review, my very first step into the big wide world of Mouthshut. Eight lines of horrible writing that probably took me like five spare minutes to write, just look at the spelling and the content. I’ve just quickly jotted my ideas down about the album and then sent them off for the whole world of Mouthshut to see. I haven’t explained much at all, or given any facts or background information about the album. Take a look at these comments on the review…
“Welcome to MS ! Do go thru some of the reviews by other writers here ! A review should be informative and exhaustive. Hope to you see more from you !
Regards.
Santosh !”

Et` al De Voice the Best is Yours :)

“Welcome to MS!! Well first reviews are more or less always this way and there’s much that is left to be desired. Try reading around and seeing some of the more informative reviews.
Nice album here and I personally love the song, Dola Re Dola...
Cheers!
Prashanth”

I totally agree with all three of these guys and I thank them deeply for their welcoming and assistance, their comments are very true.
As I’ve become a longer member with Mouthshut I have read many reviews that are absolutely fabulous. My favourite writers are Concerned, Chawlaaarti, Deja_vu, Esgallindeion, that’s from the top of my head so sorry if I didn’t include your name! These people along with many others have provided me with a standard for writing; this is why every time I write now for Mouthshut I think twice. As I’ve become a longer member with Mouthshut I have written deeper reviews and have extended my ability to express myself without doubting myself. It is hard to try and find time to write reviews especially as I am at college and am having to do assessments, assignments constantly, but when there’s a will there’s a way, and when you’re signed up with Mouthshut, Mouthshut all of a sudden becomes a very bad addiction!
Mouthshut has sooo many members. I love to read all the different reviews and see all the different types of writing styles and the technique of the language contexts.
There are not many negative things about this site. Though sometimes I did receive some rather blunt comments from people who didn’t accept my opinion, but rather than they trying to force the idea of something else to eclipse my review, I believe they should have written a comment that showed what they thought about the topic and perhaps show a bit of appreciation towards the input of the review. From this statement you can tell that I rate my reviews on the actual review, not the opinion, as opinion is a freedom that I don’t think should be judged upon.
I have just a few small suggestions and concerns for Mouthshut.
When a review is posted it doesn’t stay on the recent review page list for very long, therefore it is very difficult to have your review recommended as the ‘Review of the Day’, or perhaps go on the ‘Hot Reviews’ in the community centre. This is a problem that needs to be addressed. I suggest having a longer latest reviews list, perhaps double, cause I mean so many people put so much hard work and effort into writing a review with all the researching and pulling together of ideas. Many of these wonderful reviews don’t get as much justice and praise as what they should be getting.
Star writers. They seem to be the same people all the time. And I don’t agree with having to have a photo of yourself to promote yourself more on Mouthshut. I along with many others find that it is dangerous to do so and I don’t see the reason you should have one. You’re getting credited for your writing right?
Overall I can only explain in one word what Mouthshut is and that is ‘extraordinary’
I would be delighted to see what you think about the points that I’ve made here.
