Mixed up messes

December 15th, 2005

The web is full of mixed up messes and messages. Take this story from the highly gossipy techwhack (who might deserve a wack), and the counter story from the countering Opera Watchers.

It demonstrates just how far people will go just to get some publicity. The “I want to get slashdotted” syndrome.

Seen some more examples? Post them here!

    Perhaps, but it was still a marketing stunt IMHO. Gah, it’s even slashdotted now, even though it’s been countered :( .
