Hi everyone:

Time to drop 56767.

Hey! Where are you scurrying away? MouthShut.com will now only drop 56767, not the SMS service. So relax!

MouthShut.com now has its own own number - 9769696967. I think I heard a snigger: "What's the big deal about it? We already have 56767." So the reasons are as follows:

-It is cheap. Don't pay anything extra but enjoy the MouthShut Mobile Service just as much. Say goodbye to premium rates.
-You do not have to remember any key words
-You are not bound by any word limit.
All our international members can also avail this service.

Did I hear a "Hurray?" I guess I did.

If you have registered your mobile number with us, there is no need to register again. And those who haven't done as yet, do it NOW!

Remember: Save 9769696967 on your mobile phone and post your SMS reviews without any extra charges.

Some of my favourites have been Khaled Hosseini’s A Thousand Splendid Suns, Markus Zusak’s The Book Thief, Ruskin Bond’s first novel Room on the Roof.Jinnah: India-Partition-Independence – Jaswant Singh is also making waves. I will not list the bad ones, I leave them to you.

First Prize: Gift voucher worth Rs 1000/-
Second Prize: Gift voucher worth Rs 750/-

Hey there!

MouthShut.com is now in the United States. Did I hear you roar “Hurray”? I guess I did. And do you know why?

Simply because:

• You can now write a review on any product around you. Tell the world what you felt about the restaurant you visited last week; the health club which promised a lot but delivered nothing on the fitness factor (or maybe they did); the cell-phone which you purchased from an up-selling company; the service provided to you at neighborhood Grocery Store; the overbilling of your Credit Card; Anything; just about ANYTHING.

• Every week MouthShut.com will reward one review writer (selected by its Panel of Judges) with a Gift Certificate of an Apple iPhone redeemable at any Apple store.

“Hurray!”

Now I’m sure I heard you roar your approval.

Hi Everyone:

I have been receiving lots of queries regarding various MouthShut Meets last few days. Thought of sharing my two-penny.

What is MouthShut Member Meet?

Members of MouthShut.com keep organizing meetings to meet other members in their individual capacity, to interact socially. The idea is members help members come together off-line and strengthen bonds of friendship and camaraderie.


Does MouthShut.com have any role in these Member Meets?

MouthShut.com has upon request provided some gifts such as T-Shirts and Cups to the organizers of such meets.
All MouthShut.com meets are organized in individual capacity and we do not endorse or discourage them since such interactions are beyond the scope of MouthShut.com


What is the MouthShut.com’s stance on these individually organized Member Meet?

We do not officially endorse MS meets nor do we discourage them
We are confident that these meets are conducted in a dignified manner.
We are not responsible for any outcome, positive or negative of such gatherings
Member Meet participants are not authorized to speak as official representative of MouthShut.com to the media. Any and all interaction, statement and discussions occurring at such Member Meets are not official MouthShut.com views
Any issue with law and order is not the responsibility of MouthShut.com

MouthShut.com is your platform to review products and services, write about anything under the sun, post pictures and videos and make friends. Cheers to MouthShut.com and you - the members.

Hello everyone:

I'm back with another exciting feature.

You can now change your MouthShut Id yourself. No writing emails to MouthShut Support. All you have to do is log in and go to 'My Settings'. On the right hand side of the page, you will see the tab 'Change MouthShut ID''. Click on it to do the needful. It's as simple as that.

Exercise Caution

I would encourage you to exercise caution while requesting a change in your ID as:

You can change your MouthShut ID only once
All requests are subject to MouthShut.com's approval
The change of ID comes with a cost

So use this feature only if you REALLY REALLY need to change your MouthShut ID. Don't use it for the heck of it.

Cheers!

The last few days on the Diary section have been fruitful for me. Would you believe that at MouthShut we have been able to select a new Featured Diary Post every single day, without fail? Stuff that fairytales are made of, someone would say had I posted this Diary a few weeks ago.

To select a Featured Diary Post we would rummage through piles and piles of jokes, forwarded emails, look at the profiles of certain prolific members and then finally get to one post which would be a few months old. It was that difficult, really.

Last week I made a reverent petition to God - "Kuch miracle-shiracle dikha bhagwan". And yes, God answered my prayer in no time. Soon, the number of original Diaries increased, members started delving deep into their own lives to look for inspiration. The jokes and forwards (which are also necessary) are still around. But we're all cheered by the fact that the original stuff has gone up, there by reducing the "emosional atyachaar" we had to go through while selecting a Featured Diary Post.

Not only is there a new Featured Diary Post everyday, the choice is now more varied. We do not award the same members with Featured Diary Posts and at the risk of repeating myself, I simply love the fact that we're getting to choose some great diaries on a daily basis.

Why this post?

Simple! It's an appeal to everyone who reads my post to contribute something personal and relevant (again, not that jokes are irrelevant, as long as they make us go ha-ha they are relevant). The diary segment, this way, will have more depth and variety, make for more interesting reading and yes, help us get to a new Featured Diary Post every day.

Like many, I also never liked seeing the same diary on the homepage for 2-3 days. Now that the wheel has started rolling, I would request all of you to give it a push.

Love and regards,
Jasmine

Hi all:

Since yesterday, MouthShut.com has witnessed an unfortunate incident between two prominent members. What should have been sorted out by the two privately became a vitriolic accusation and counter-accusation in full public view. No brownie points to either of them for this.

Both members do have their valid reasons for their points-of-view but nothing, and I repeat nothing is bigger than the sanctity and equanimity of this site that gives everyone a right to express their opinions.

Also, I would use this space to request all of you not to indulge in any kind of groupism or ganging up. Please refrain from being party to any one warring member. Does not help matters.

MouthShut.com is your platform. If you ever find any issues that disturb or bother you, write to me jasmine@mouthshut.com or send me an M2M. I will try my best to come up with a best possible resolution.
