Tuesday, Oct. 30th, 31st & Nov. 1st Noon till 6 PM Buying Gold & Silver Coins (must be in good condition) Tuesday, October 30, 2012 – Daily News 3A The value of an honest review I am a huge fan of the Internet, for thousands of reasons. And right up there at the top: reviews. I have come to count heavily on the opinions of others before trying out a new recipe, buying something online, trying a new restaurant, booking a hotel or hir- ing a service provider. But, I have learned, reviews are not infallible. There is a fine art emerging for how to use a review, and also how to write one. SECURITY IN NUMBERS. It is not wise to rely on a single online review. You cannot know if the review is an "inside job," meaning the best friend or mother of the new restau- rant's owner posted a 5-star review. However, if there are 27 reviews aver- aging 4-stars plus the one you think might be bogus, that's a recommenda- tion you should take seriously. It's pos- sible that many others happen to agree with "mom." I find myself visiting Yelp.com for feedback (especially on restaurants), particularly when I travel. BOGUS REVIEWS. Just because there are lots of reviews for the items you are researching, that doesn't nec- essarily mean that all of them are viable. Read them carefully. Immedi- ately discount any reviews that start Police reports The following informa- tion is compiled from Red Bluff Police Department, Tehama County Sheriff's Department, Corning Police Department and Cal- ifornia Highway Patrol.

You want to con- sider solid, honest and reliable reviews. You'll learn quickly how to spot them. MANDATORY Other sites where you should always read the reviews include Zappos.com, the online shoe retailer. Zappos reviewers are amazing. Most give very detailed reviews for how shoes fit ("true to size" or "they feel small," etc.). You'll learn more about how shoes look and feel, than you might have known exist- ed. eBay.com without first reading the seller's feed- back. You can learn a lot, like just what kind of a per- son you are dealing with, how he or she ships prod- ucts and how honest they are with their product descriptions. heavy site.

As a member of AngiesList.com, I have learned to scrutinize carefully a single negative review for a service or health provider. That's because I know human nature. That reviewer could have had a really bad day, or have an ulterior motive hav- ing nothing to do with the service -- choosing, instead, to use the review process as a means of revenge. Angies- List.com does allow a service provider to post a rebuttal or explanation. Everyday Cheapskate AllRecipes.com is another review- tomer reviews are only as reliable as those who write and submit them. Each time you offer an objective, honest review, you are helping oth- ers. Be brief, honest and thor- ough. Don't just say you love the shoes, say how they fit, if they arrived on time, how they were packed, how was it to deal with customer service, would you buy from this site again and so on. Give the kind of review you would enjoy reading -- an honest review. WRITE REVIEWS.
