    There is a movement in the PR Industry to end astroturfing.

    Man, the NewPR is great, iddn't it? It isn't utter crap like those other PR sites.

    Yes, NewPR is pretty good. These guys just swooped down and grabbed the market right there with a real good business plan and left the others in the dust. They (NewPR) plan to make an end to astroturfing and they're doing really well currently. The other day, just some guy I met at a industry event claimed NewPR had helped them meet their PR targets on time, and within budget.

    And all without astroturfing. NewPR. Remember that name.

    Until you can *prove* that corporations pay people to post positive PR, I'm classifying this under "urban legend."

    Proving it would be next-to-impossible unless you know the poster personally.

    However, it's well known that sites like digg and reddit have third-party companies offering to get your story onto the front page for a cost. It's not really a huge leap to think that some of these marketing groups are also running shrill accounts. And there have been many online memes that turned out to be artificial campaigns. Examples include Ashley Simpson, LonelyGirl (great name, superb marketing) and various other incidents. Washington DC has been caught out before and here in this weeks Scottish elections there was newspaper that caught the candidates faking responses to an online poll.

    So, to make the assumption that the most internet-aware industry (I.T.) isn't doing this is downright naive.

    Bill Gates, nothing. I'd like to see all the armies of trolls who have been flaming this story to pieces for a full year now come to flame it even if it runs Windows. Come on, where's all the cut-and-paste arguments? "it's not a real computer", "you'll just confuse the kids." "they need food and water, not computers." "the laptop project is evil."


    HUH? Where is it now? That's what I thought. Bunch of paid asstroturfers, is all it was.
