astroturfing

VO, I'm wondering that too. Maybe they haven't heard of it yet.

Yeah, she probably works for Wordie.

I've never heard of this "jennarenn" before, she seems to be a spammer. I checked out that site and it's just a bunch of words -- don't waste your time on it. I think we should ban her IP.

I wonder how manufacturers of astroturf deal with this usage in their advertising. It doesn't encourage happy mental associations.

I knew there was a reason I didn't like Shelfari.

Hey John,

I just stumbled across your comment. Have you heard about this site called Wordie? It's like Flickr, but without the photos. You should check it out.

"Here's the evidence that Shelfari engaged in a massive campaign of astroturfing—having employees post comments to blogs pretending to be happy users."
