▶ Your Answer : Nowadays, when people want to
buy some products, they try to collect much information and many reviews about
the product to spend their money more wisely. Some people think that the
information from magazines or recommendation of friends is the best reference
for their consumption but as for me, reviews from online communities have the
greatest impact to decide the major purchase.
That is because, first, it is
comprised of many consumers’ participation. There are so many people who bought
the same product that I want to buy. They keep writing about the speculation,
performance, durability and even their feelings of the product on the community
website. Through this, I can easily obtain thousands of invaluable reviews
about the product, which would be very helpful to decide whether I have
to buy certain product.
Moreover, these reviews are not
biased and don’t have certain purposes. Thousands of consumers’ reviews cannot
be contaminated with money. We can think of the example of magazines. Many
product companies give money or reward to the magazine to make a review about
their product more attractive. In this situation, the information written in
the magazines is not reliable anymore.
I have an experience about this
problem. 2 years ago, I had to purchase a TV for my parents. Since I always
wanted to spend my money with maximized efficiency, I tried to gather the
information as much as I can. During this trial, I realized the information
from the magazine and that from the communities were quite different. I
followed the review of the community of course, and after using the new TV I found
that the review on the magazine was extremely exaggerated.
To sum up, there would be many
ways to learn about some products. We can talk to our friends or read some
magazines. The most reliable information, however, is come from the
communities. There are many users and consumers who aren’t biased and have no
purpose. In this regard, many people get the greatest impact from the reviews
of online communities.
