Let's help keep the discussion on topic.

I will mention you in from a related topic.

1- Be yourself.  Don't be afraid to express your personal feeling about locations but also keep it tactful.   Spewing negativity will only result in folks ignoring your reviews and contributions.  

2- Keep it short  it's a review, not a novel.  You need to be able to get your point across within 30 seconds- That is how long the average person spends looking at a review before moving on and saying that's too long! Clear pictures are a must.

3-Be Diverse and fun! Always remember people from all walks of life can be viewing your experiences with various places and vendors. 

4-Canned reviews are terrible "It was nice" is not a review.  Why was it nice?  A few pro's and con's, drop in a picture.  Make it lively -Catch their attention!

5-Always remember when reviewing a company that your review has the potential to bring customers or steer them away.  Be honest in your reviews, not mean or disrespectful (see #1)

That's really all I have to say about that as someone once said!

Dining at a restaurant? Share what you ordered and (maybe) why. It may be your regular item or something you've ordered elsewhere, but it might be something new for a reader of your review. Tell them about your impression of the service and the restaurant too. Convince them to go too, it stay away, as applicable. 🙂

Thanks for the encouragement everyone! I posted Episode 2, Part 1 of the Malaysian Tall Story. 

Synopsis:
A shopping mall run plays out like a cyberpunk story as absolutely nothing, including getting out of the train doors, seems to go smoothly. A rag tag team of runners rendezvous at a legendary chicken statue before raiding the mall for discounts and attempt to defuse a bomb. Really. I told you it's a Malaysian Tall Story!
