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.

  3. Over-estimating the influence of mainstream media by jazir1979 · · Score: 1, Troll

    This article says that it is less work to form an opinion via a newspaper headline than by reading slashdot, for example.

    But I think part of the unique nature of the internet is that much of an online businesses reputation will be made online, and through various discussion communities (slashdot, newsgroups, etc), rather than the mainstream media.

    Your fancy little (very little, actually) paper was so riddled with grammer mistakes I quit reading after a few sentances. Better luck next time, MORON!

    Often times, comments posted early (thus appearing higher up in the page) receive points more easily simply because of their visibility, even if the actual quality isn't as high as comments made later on after much deliberation.

    Try sorting highest score first, idiot.

    ...(of Why Unicode Won't Work On The Internet fame)...

    In other words, a complete and utter moron.

    Seriously, after that Unicode article of his, anyone who knows anything about i18n can tell you this fellow is an idiot who does not do his research, and doesn't understand the things he does research. Just ignore him.
