My Amazon reviews
I became an Amazon Reviewer. I have written so many reviews here already that I though why not? So, here it is, my Amazon reviewer page, for now with only one début review of The Clearing. Blog-City will still be first, so I am planning to adapt whatever I write here to the amazon-style short review (not much time for the long one, sorry...) and let's see how it works.
I've read a little about reviewing and Amazon and I've found out that some people are totally addicted, others fight really hard for the Top1000 reviewers stamp. Haven't figured why, but I'll get there. For me, it was just a "why not" thing, I hope I don't get hooked on it.
I don't think Amazon enforces this at all, but there's something in its
agreement concerning posting reviews where it says basically that it owns
them. So in theory I suppose they could tell you that you can't reprint
your review anywhere.
I remember when I was first looking at Barnes and Noble for an affiliate relationship, I had to nix them because they demanded exclusivity. So I couldn't be an affiliate to both them and Amazon! I don't know if they've changed that policy, but I found that to be really obnoxious and totally out of spirit with the web...

Hi! Thanks for your comment. I was kind of doubtful about this myself, so
I've checked Amazon's Conditions of Use and it states: "If you do post
content or submit material, and unless we indicate otherwise, you grant
Amazon.com and its affiliates a NONEXCLUSIVE, royalty-free, perpetual,
irrevocable, and fully sublicensable right to use..." etc. I have also
checked other reviewers and many maintain websites with the exact same
reviews as they post on Amazon! That's when I though why not-
By the
way, I really liked your podcasting posting, it helped me a lot. I've
downloaded Awasu and I still can't say much about it, just starting to use
it really.
Cheers!
