A thought on “Review”

There are a lot of “review” sites on the web:

. . .

Most of these review sites are very active

Incredibly many people are writing product reviews

Why people do review?

After reading / watching several thousands of reviews, I got a thought

Basically, many people do it as a hobby, for fun

In the early 2000s, lots of people started blogging

It was the beginning of Personal Publishing era

People perceived Personal Publishing as so attractive thing

However, most blogs became inactive within three months,

because only fewer people could get readers

Blog which didn’t have readers couldn’t keep them going

Web2.0 might be a knight on white horse for them

because web2.0 brought them readers

Facebook, etc.

Twitter, etc.

Quora, etc.

Personal Publishing

within one’s circle of friends and acquaintances

easy short message communication

win-win situation was born

I want someone to read my writings

Thus, “review” became a popular hobby among internet users

That’s my theory
