NYT On Online Reputations 118

Posted by Hemos on Monday June 23, 2003 @08:07AM from the building-the-systems-of-truth dept.

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."

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.

I'll trade you 2 Interesting karma for this lovely, slightly used, bottle cap.
seriously, /. karma has as much worth as a Pu [igd.fhg.de]. Similar, apart from the fact that it's much easier to obtain.

Precise karma information will only happen if/when Rob CmdrTaco Malda is dead (most likely from sexual asphyxiation, sexual impalement, or state-sponosored electrocution).
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.
