Epinions Local Services Update

Not sure if anyone cares, but the following is the email I got yesterday from Epinions. I haven't seen any mention of it here.

Quote:
Dear magenta321,

Earlier this year, Epinions announced it would test a limited set
of local services content to gauge the value of local services
reviews to the Epinions community. After evaluating the results of
this test, Epinions has decided not to retain a Local Services
category at this time.

We thank you for the valuable Local Services reviews you posted on
Epinions, and regret that we will not be expanding this section at
this time. Please note that the results of this Local Services test
do not rule out the possibility of a Local Services section on
Epinions at a later date.

Your Local Services reviews will continue to
be displayed on the
site and can be accessed from your profile page. However, the
Local Services
section will be removed from the site in mid-December
of 2001.

We look forward to launching more products in the upcoming year for
dedicated reviewers, like you, who continue to help make Epinions
the best place on the Web to make an informed decision.

Sincerely,

Epinions.com

**********************************************************************
You received this email because you wrote one or more reviews in the
Local
Services category on Epinions, and asked to receive occasional
email from Epinions.

Now, there's a change of pace. They make a decision and notify the affected users by email in advance.

I'm actually impressed.

I got that too. It's a shame. Local Services was a good idea that no one really cared about. That, and they didn't pay Eroyalties for those reviews back when Epinions did that sort of thing...

MiDoyle had noticed it posted in the Member Center and mentioned it the thread Question about closing a category.

It's nice to see that EP also sent out e-mails, ahead of time , to people who had taken part in the test.
