Cake 1.0 is over. Now releasing Cake 2.0
Wednesday, September 10th, 2008
Hi there. It’s your friendly neighbourhood kat here, Thanks for all your entries to our first site-wide cake competition! The winner is…
Joy W from Sheffield for her review of Gullivers Eco Park Ltd entitled, “Not for genuine Lilliputians (toddlers)”!
Loved the title, and you can really sense Joy’s rage at her little ones being slightly too tall to fit under the 90cm restriction for getting in for free. She describes the venue beautifully, and goes through the entire park, describing eating and toilet facilities. Great review Joy!
In close second, we have Kelly R from Newbury!
She wrote a review entitled, “Definitely not exhausting going here!” of Ats Euromaster Ltd. I loved her ‘car pun’ in the title, and it is an extremely well written, and extraordinarily detailed review. She tells you what products they sell, how the service was, and by the end of reading it, you are left feeling as grateful as her for the excellent service!
Hope you enjoy your cake, Joy! (and Kelly, I will be sending you a little prize in the post soon as well! Hopefully both will take some photos so we can show them to the rest of you.)
And now for next month…
Write your reviews of Animals!
That’s right, write anything about animals. It could be a pet store, farm, zoo, or just your local convenience store that happens to have a dog that sits on the counter. Here’s a little inspiration… Huw L’s review of Mudchute Park & Farm. As you can see, he has a great title, and, most importantly, fantastic photos and lots of personality in his review.
- Contest closes on September 30th
- You can enter as often as you like, but make sure you share your review with kathryn.neville@bview.com (or send me a link to your review)
- I give extra marks for photos, witty titles, and dialogue in your text.
- Make sure you give relevant information about the business as well!
If you need some more inspiration, I will send you photos of fuzzy animals. I’m quite partial to goats.
And, as promised in the email current bview members receive, here’s your animal haiku!
- bah neigh rawr moo oink
- Write your animal reviews
- But please in English
P.S. If you can write a better haiku, post it on my wall!

..even a really big one.
It’s been a busy fortnight for BView, we’ve added well over 1,000 new users, and thousands of reviews (Nearly 10,000 at the last count). Not to mention that we also launched a new version of the BView site earlier this week – but more about that in my next post.
With the amount of reviews you’ve all written, it makes me wonder where you all get the time to find these places… we’re not complaining, we’ve got loads of Amazon vouchers burning a hole in our collective pocket and they’ve got to go somewhere, so if you haven’t already then sign up and get writing. Ten quid for 20 reviews… bargain.
To give you an idea of the amazing quality of the reviews being added, here’s three of my favourite reviewers so far…
- Fiona T in Gateshead: Everything from hotels to zoos with some restaurants and pubs thrown in for good measure. The quality of each and every review is first class. If I’m ever in the area I know where to go (and a few places to avoid).
- Joy W in Sheffield: Not far off a century of reviews, some great titles and excellent photos. It’s not all about quantity, the quality is outstanding too.
- Suki B in Milton Keynes: It seems Milton Keynes isn’t just concrete cows and roundabouts. Some excellent reviews, everything from cookie monsters to charity shops.
You can see the top 10 BView users here, updated daily – Jim L’s been on top for way to long now; I think he’s getting a bit complacent.
We’re always looking for feedback on the site so please get in touch with your comments, suggestions or questions and if you haven’t already; check out our Amazon voucher promotion to get some Amazon cash for your reviews.
That’s all for now, in my next post I’ll tell you all a bit more about the new BView features we released this week.
Laters.
