Hey TN... ( 2 Views )

1. From the [H] front page...
   "About a week ago, The Consumerist stumbled upon claims made by various gaming websites (specifically, Elite Bastards and Beyond3D) that graphics chip manufacturer Nvidia, in cooperation with the Arbuthnot Entertainment Group (AEG), had seeded various gaming and PC hardware enthusiast sites with pro-Nvidia shills. That is to say, that AEG would hire employees to create ‘personas’ in various gaming communities, slowly building up the trust of other members by frequent posting unrelated to Nvidia, to later cash in that trust with message board postings talking up the positive qualities of Nvidia’s products. The research done by these gaming websites and communities fingered a few likely suspects, but did not prove outright that AEG’s work—quoted on their web site as “Message board monitoring and response” and “Strategic seeding viral assets to ensure they are spread far and wide”—included placing ringers in their communities."
   
   Maybee AquaComputer is doing this too... :D
   
   EDIT - Daishi is right it should be taken as a joke only!

3. I know of these tactics. They hire people to create multiple personas on multiple forums. They want the people to post 6-8 posts an hour. They dont want these to be moronic posts however, they want them to be coherent. They want the people to build up the personas to be knowledgeable and trusted. That way they can start adding in subtle marketing lines to their posts.
   
   I think the dead giveaway that TN is not hired is the complete lack of subtlety behind her opinion. :p
