Amazon.com Pierces Reviewer Anonymity
theodp writes "Amazon reviewers who anonymously posted book reviews or signed their critiques only as 'a reader from (fill in the city)' lost their anonymity this week when their identities were revealed on Amazon's site. Among those named were prominent authors who posted glowing five-star reviews of their own work. The weeklong glitch, which Amazon fixed after outed reviewers complained, provided a rare glimpse at how writers and readers are wielding the online reviews as a tool to promote or pan books when they think no one is watching. An Amazon spokeswoman told the NY Times the problem was 'an unfortunate error.'"
Just so everyone knows: Charisma Carpenter is going to be in Playboy. More news as this story progresses.
Ceren is hot, regardles of what people say. I'd sell my new Athlon64 system for a kiss. ;-)
the GNAA DoS of JewPranks has left the nigger haters weak and defenseless!
they cant even make first post!

It was hot and with a girl. Does this mean I have to give up my /. affiliation?
02-03-04 Charisma Carpenter in Playboy? Yes, you heard it here first. Word on the street is Charisma may do a cover shot and inside pictorial in an issue tentatively scheduled for a late spring or early summer release. More to come as this story develops.
Jewpranks is crap. No one cares about niggah jokes. Tell some about Jews, and people will come.
PLAY PARTIES THE than this BSD box,
this anonymous note is just great!
It's true! Just try these two simple searches:
link:www.microsoft.com
link:www.slashdot.org
Google returns about 124,000 sites that link to Microsoft, and about 171,000 that link to Slashdot!
This is undeniable PROOF that people who actually matter (i.e. webmasters) care more about Slashdot than Microsoft!

I just have to give mad props to the parent for acheiving a rare +3 Flamebait!
You are in a maze of twisted little posts, all alike.
I don't think you were shooting for 'funny' but that 'e-turds' comment cracked me up. It is so damned appropriate... a load of e-turds. I gotta remember that one so I can use it later! Thanks!
