Astroturfing, Sock-Puppets -- everyone gets caught. The only fake blogs I can tolerate are the humor blogs like the Fake Steve Jobs.</p>David ChurbuckFri, 02 Mar 2007 08:47:13 -0000http://estebanglas.com/2007/02/fake-bloggers-beware/#comment-13700758<p>Esteban,</p><p>Personal Opinion Disclaimer = ON<br>Subsequent comments are expressed solely as personal opinion and not as a representative of my employer. : )</p><p>I think these tactics will be self policing in and of themselves, and legislation against it is frivalous. IP addresses can be unmasked and savvy online denizens can be a suspicious lot, and love scandle - something else to blog about. So, I would say the risk vs return for a bunch of fake accolades is high. I.e. companies would generally deter themselves knowing the damage to PR if discovered is far greater than the short lived positive boost if undiscovered.</p>MarkFri, 23 Feb 2007 13:44:47 -0000
