Online Reputation Is Hard To Do

Symblized writes "A new article from InformationWeek argues that not only does the Web need ways to verify identity, it also needs better ways to measure reputation . The article uses Digg, Wikipedia, and eBay as examples and muses whether their models could be applied more widely. There's also a profile of Opinity, a company that tried to introduce a reputation system and didn't make it. Choice quote from a source in the article: 'The idea of a transferable, semantic reputation is identity nirvana.'"

    Reputation is key. It's like in that movie, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I don't know if this was shown in theatres but on the unrated dvd version there is a heavy focus on trust. For example when Wonka and Charlie and the others are in that elevator going through the factory they see a rom called "the Ompaa Lompaa fabric" or something like that and you see two Ompaa Lompaas in bed and one is smoking a cigarrette (like if they just had sex) and Wonka replies "no comments"

    Another escene shows a transgender Ompaa Lompaa dressed as a woman in an office

    Also at the end when Willy Wonka is offering Charlie his fabric he says "you can live with me in the factory,we will do everything together,we will make chocolate together,we will watch tv together,we will sleep togheter...we will shower together" and the rest of the family is like "huh??" LOL that part was pretty funny to me like a Michael Jackson parody.

    And yeah then there is that naked Ompaa Lompaa taking a shower but you can see only his legs.

    But I worked hard to establish my solid online reputation, it has girth, you can really put your hands around it and sink your teeth in.

    You left out the part about how the company has had periods of high cash flow, followed by the absorbtion of highly liquid companies. But at least you mentioned that they only employed de womenses, cuz dey hate da menses.

    Lies! Everyone knows that Lincoln was assassinated by Sasquatch near a grassy knoll in a redwood forest. Also, Lincoln suffered from Asparagus's Syndrome, not Asperger's.
