We've changed the LouderVoice mini-review format to reduce errors. Now you use a colon to separate item from opinion. Detail below:

An example of the new format is:
#reviews 5
Christmas Day: Gosh, this really is my favourite day of the year. I
love turkey with all the trimmings.
The main advantage of using the colon is that the following
space is not mandatory (as it was with the full-stop/period
approach so we could support URL reviews)
Note that we still support the old format. We'll just be pushing
this one from now on.
This change has been implemented for Jaiku, Twitter and SMS.
Note that we'll have full support for associating your Twitter and
Jaiku accounts to your LouderVoice account very shortly.
Although I'm sure most people leave out the http:// these days anyway. New format sounds good
apart from that. A bit more logical and clearer than a full
stop.
We did ask ourselves what were the chances someone would review
a URL with http! Given that no-one has to-date, we think we are ok.
However, we've had lots of people finding the fullstop+space
confusing, hence the change. It makes the whole thing more
robust.

#reviews 5 http://www.jaiku.com/ : Great site, but I think I'm reviewing 'http' now?
(seen as you mentioned website reviews)
