The Reality of Online Reputation

Posted by Hemos on from the watch-what-you-say dept.

Nicholas Carroll (of Why Unicode Won't Work On The Internet fame) has written a piece for Mindjack entitled "Spinning The Web: The Realities of Online Reputation Management". Trust me - the actual subject matter is a lot more interesting then the title *grin*. The essay is aimed toward companies online, but is applicable to individuals as well.

    I ready his Unicode-trashing piece, I read
    rebuttals including the one from Mark Davis,
    and I have no intention of reading more tripe
    from Mr. Carroll (assuming he's a man, of course)

    It should read "hemos == 'gay'" or something like that, not a single equal sign, you pathetic fuck. Also, your indenting style is that of a bisexual sea turtle looking to get laid for the first time.

      No, the test was of the return value for the assignment statement hemos=gay.

      Presumably it would return true no matter what, which fits with how things work around here.

      Not sure at all what any of this 'reputation' stuff means, however. Aren't we all (or almost all) of us using psuedonyms to start with?
