Le Rapaci Unghie

...del marketing d'assalto si interessano ai blog. naturalmente ce l'aspettavamo tutti, ma leggere cose così, ammesse esplicitamente, mi dà parecchio fastidio:

One technique that was not available to publicity seekers and brand builders five years ago but now is seen as a way to influence the public is Weblogs, or "blogs" for short. These self-published Web diaries are creeping into the public eye as legitimate, if quirky, sources of news and information. By influencing blog publishers, a company can relay its message to the public and pick up some credibility along the way, according to Denise Garcia, a research director focused on online marketing at Gartner. "The best campaigns, whether it's e-mail or advertising or something more subversive, all rely on context to get their message across more effectively," Garcia told the E-Commerce Times. "A consumer's perception of a product message is directly impacted by where they're getting it from."

Probabilmente non hanno idea delle sfanculate che si rischiano nella blogosfera con certe operazioni.
