Kudos to you!

You see Anywebcam for exactly what they are –
An adult website placing live adult cams in to a kids website (Myspace).

Since Myspace is a kids site, I’d hate to see any one send them to Anywebcam to get an account for this embedded cam.

The worst part is that Anywebcam has NO barriers in place to keep kids out. Apparently they WANT Kids in their adult nude chat site eh?

Anywebcam is NOT properly labeled as the Adult Site that it actually is.

Your open honesty and thoroughness of review is much appreciated,
Ducky

Thanks for being honest. I’ll be honest too. One more paid post and I’m unsubscribing.

Well, I’m glad you liked the simile … sometimes I’mi not afraid to admit that I feel like a monkey sometimes myself, though.

All the best with your beer money though; that stuff can get expensive ;)

Tony – thanks for a thoughtful reply (and your kind words!). The ‘monkey doing laps at the gym’ thing is a great simile!

Given the UK/US exchange rate this kind of thing can only make me beer money unless my alexa ranking shoots through the roof all of a sudden. So I’m not really incentivised to do too many more laps round the gym, if you know what I mean.

Ok — me too … that was the first “pay per post” that I’ve seen through ReviewMe.com.
Ian, I’ll be honest. I like your blog. I like the kind of “I know what I’m talking about” vibe you’ve got going on here, because not only do you have credentials that many of us don’t (moi aussi!), but you also write like you know what you’re talking about.

And dude, you don’t look like you’re the kind of guy who reviews these kinds of widgets. In fact, when was the last time you did a review at all.

Its not a bad review, its just — well, it looks out of place.
From a “brand management” strategy [if you were into that sort of thing; if not, please ignore the rest], it almost looks incongruent with your “brand identity”.

I’m not sure what to make of it, only it gives me the same feeling as if I saw a monkey doing laps at the gym. Kind of odd — because I know it could, but it usually doesn’t.

This is the “pay review” I’ve seen so far (other than the initial reviews).

Congrats on staying honest :)
