It’s faith alone that sees one through the darkest of times. My faith is that this Festival of Lights will bring peace and prosperity and envelop the universe in a glorious glow of love and compassion.

The Light Shall Always Illuminate.

Have Faith.

Happy Diwali!

Hey everyone: We're very, very close to the Festival of Lights. With Diwali knocking on our doors, we have decided to add some new Virtual Gifts for this glittering festival. Do take a look at these auspicious Virtual Gifts included recently. Thali of Sweets, Laxmi Murti, Crackers, Dry Fruit Box, Diya, and Diwali Card.

What are you waiting for guys? Do send these propitious gifts to each other for a smile and a blessing in return. Regards, Jasmine Ahuja Head - Member Support MouthShut.com

Hi guys:

A small suggestion is required. We have been getting quite a few emails from members regarding comments on SMS Reviews. Some members feel that because of too many comments, their mobile Inbox gets flooded. We looked into this issue and noticed that a lot of members (in their enthusiasm of course, not out of any malice) post too many comments, many of which are irrelevant and in no way connected with the SMS review. We have no objections with the comments and the eagerness which goes behind them, but it is the members who find it inconvenient since these comments find their way to their Inbox.

At an internal meeting, it was suggested that we restrict the number of comments per member to 10. Another great suggestion was that we leave the decision to you - our members.

Please do let us know of your opinion by tomorrow 23:59 hrs. If the majority of members say NO to restriction then we shall respect your decision and if most of you say YES, then YES it shall be.

Regards,

(Updated 17:00 hrs)



Hi everyone:

A small update. The Photo Gallery will be down for a couple of hours due to a technical snag. Please do bear with us. We regret the inconvenience caused. What this means is many of you may not be able to view or upload photos.

We’re really working on it to get it up as soon as possible.

PS: MouthPad is up and running. All requests shall now be processed.

Hi all,

Today, the topic of my post is the ‘Trusted Circle Feeds’ feature.

What is Trusted Circle?

MouthShut.com enables you to create your own Trusted Circle which consists of members whose opinions/advice about any specific product or service you can trust. This works the other way round also where other users can trust you for the same.

What is Trusted Circle Feed?

Trusted Circle Feed shows you the recent activities of your trusted circle friends on your Dashboard

What are the activities users can see in My Trusted Circle Feed?

1. Someone adds you in his/her Trusted Circle
2. Trusted Circle Member writes Review
3. Trusted Circle Member writes Diary Post
4. Trusted Circle Member uploads Photo
5. Someone sends Gift to you
6. Trusted Circle Member sends Gift to someone
7. Trusted Circle Member adds someone in his/her Trusted Circle

How Trusted Circle Feed helps?

From Trusted Circle Feed you can easily go to the Review/Diary written by your Trusted Circle member and you can read it instantly instead of navigating so many pages.

Waiting for your response. Always eager to help.

Cheers!
Vikram.

Dear Friends:

Due to certain technical issues, MouthPad has been delayed. We regret the inconvenience caused. Our engineers are working towards rectifying the problem. Please do bear with us.

I assure you that in the next few days, things will be back to normal.

Hi all,

Today, the topic of my post is the ‘Site Filter Settings’feature.

What are Site Filters?

Site Filters allow you to filter the opinions and reviews that interest you most

How it is useful?

It helps in a way that you can see the reviews listed in ‘Read All Reviews Page’ according to your Filter Settings.

The first setting is:

“Please select the order you want reviews sorted by”

a) Read Volumes - Reviews are sorted in Ascending Order of the number of times read by members.

b) Trusted Circle – Reviews are sorted by Trusted Circle members’ written review.

Trusted Circle Filter setting is the default for all MouthShut Members once they have registered and activated their MouthShut ID.

c) Product Rating – Reviews are sorted in Ascending Order of the rating given by Review Writer

d) Review Date – Reviews are sorted in Ascending Order by Time and Date

e) Review Rating – Reviews are sorted in Ascending Order by Overall Rating of the reviews.

The second setting is:

Select the types of reviews you would like to see

· Very Useful, Useful, Somewhat Useful, Not Useful, Not Rated – Displays only the reviews which you have selected.

For example, if you wish to see only ‘Very Useful’ and ‘Useful Rating’ Reviews then on selecting so, you will see only those reviews which are Rated ‘Very Useful’ and ‘Useful’ and hides the other Rating Reviews.

Finally:

If you unselect the check box in “Showmembers I distrust and their content”under“Trusted Circle”, Reviews written by the members in your Distrust List will not be shown.

How can I go to the Site Filters Page?

a. Log in and go to your Dashboard Page.

b. Go to My Settings Page under Member's Panel

c. Select the Site Filter Tab.

d. Select and Update your settings as you wish.

Please note, all changes will be applicable only in “Read All Review Pages”.

Waiting for your response. Always eager to help.

Dear Friends:

Hope the new week has begun well for all of you. At MouthShut.com, it begins with a bang. I take this opportunity to announce a new category - Employers. Yes, you read right - Employers it is.

You can now write reviews on your employers. Our engineering and product teams have burned the midnight oil to come up with this brand new category where you can talk about your employers. Good, bad, ugly ... whatever ... your review should be truthful, honest and YOUR OWN EXPERIENCE. Let the world know about the company where your services were used.

As an example, your review can contain any/all of the following points:
Company Ethics
Work Atmosphere
Remuneration
Leadership Vision
Overall Experience

Hi all,

Today, the topic of my post is the ‘Email Alerts Settings’feature. Here, I will talk about some important alerts.

You will receive all the alerts on your Email ID which you registered with us.

When do you receive alerts and how do you set them?

New ratings on your reviews (Very Useful, Useful, Somewhat Useful or Not Useful)

By default, this alert is set on the Write Review Page and the member (Review Writer) receives alerts when other members rate that review.

New comments on your Review /Diary

As in the previous points, this alert is also set by default on the Review/Diary and the member (Review/ Diary Writer) receives alerts when other members’ comments the same.

Trusted List Alerts

Member receives alerts when someone adds member to his/her Trusted Circle

N ew review/diary by a member.

Go to a member's Profile Page. Click on Alert on new posting by this member. You will receive alerts when that member writes a new Review or Diary.

New reviews on products

Go to the product page on which you would like to receive review updates. Click on Alert on new review on (product name). You will receive alerts when someone writes a new Review on the product

New comments on others' Review/Diary

When you read a Review or Diary you can get updates about comments received on it by other members by setting alerts.

New Gift comes to you

By default, you will receive alerts when a member sends a Virtual Gift to you.

Duration of Alerts

Every six hours you will receive Alerts on Review Rated. Timings: 3 am, 9 am, 3 pm and 9 pm.

Every four hours you will receive comments posted on Diary/Review written by you and other members also. Timings: 12 midnight, 4 am, 8 am, 12 noon, 4 pm, and 8 pm.

How is it useful for you?

Email Alerts help you be in touch with recent updates on Reviews/Diaries, Ratings, Comments, Virtual Gifts and Trusted Circle updates without going to the relevant pages all the time. Once you get an alert on your Email, you can check instantly.

Waiting for your response. Always eager to help.

Cheers!
Vikram.

Dear Friends:

It's time to collect points once again. Like last time, the points are going to be very high, but this time it's just not just the SMS which will get you points, but also good old REVIEWS. Start writing reviews on any product listed on MouthShut.com and earn 100 points per review.

Yes, one review can get you 100 points. So, write as many reviews as you can and get 100 points per review.

The last date to get 100 points per review is September 30, 2008.
