One of my occasional gigs is writing reviews of new sites for the What’s New Onine kiosk run by Appvita and CenturyTel.  Since I love trying new things, it’s a match made in heaven. Here are my latest reviews on that site:

Lifetick – Manage Your Tasks and Life Goals

Cookstr – Find Great Recipes From Top Chefs

Do My Stuff – Get Help With Your Dirty Work

I Vote For Art – Rate And Buy Artwork

I enjoy writing reviews of the products and services I use. Here’s a list of the reviews published (mostly) on consumer reviews sites.

What I Learned From Writing Reviews

I’m always browsing around, looking for new things to try, so it’s nice for me to get paid for my obsession. My latest gig is reviewing sites for CenturyTel. For this gig, I need to use the site, research power user tips and fit the review into a specified format. Here’s my first review, of Ustream.TV.  I’m writing the second one now. Stay tuned for updates.
