NYT On Online Reputations
prostoalex writes "New York Times analyzes the importance of online postings for the company images and product success/failure rates. Intuit's TurboTax DRM "feature" is mentioned as one of the bad ideas, that was quickly and vociferously opposed by the Internet folk. The movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding got quite a nice cash flow even though the advertising budget was low, but opinions on the Internet regarded the movie highly. Rating systems of Epinions and Slashdot are also discussed briefly."
Thanks for the link to Slashdot or I may have never found it.
Now that's irony. (registration required)
New York Times on reputation..... ouch.
Fuck it
The New York Times issued a correction for their story on online reputations. It turns out the author has never been on the Internet and does not own a computer. Also, the reference to Amazon books was incorrect; Amazon actually is a the remnants of a forest, not an online bookseller. There is no such web site site as Slashdot.
The New York Times regrets the error.
Insert simplistic political, ideological, or personal proselytization here.
seriously, /. karma has as much worth as a Pu. Similar, apart from the fact that it's much easier to obtain.
All I thought was "Wow, moving text! Hey! It's that Tiger Woods product everyone's talking about!"... WOW! a NYT article I didn't have to register for!!! What's the world coming to? (Maybe slashdot has made a difference?)
With as much as Slashdot bashes Microsoft, It's sure to crumble to the weight of our online opinions any minute! ...
Any minute now...

CmdrTaco doesn't like Karma to be a game, in his world, it's a tool to select moderators. Since he instituted a karma cap, then replaced numerical karma score with adjectives, and then replaced the number of mods to a post with percentages, anything measurable isn't likely to happen.
With that title I assumed that you would write about raising little trolls up to 50 karma and selling them to the English for eating.
