They seem to be quite transparent in the way they operate. If you look at their blog their critics are in full voice. <br></br><br>I think this is one way in which they are hosting a conversation.</br><br></br><br>It's easy to condemn something for not being new, but a lot of useful innovation is incremental; Kuhnian shifts are not ten a penny.</br><br></br><br>I question the idea that the presence of BzzAgent's CEO on the WOMMA board means its should be distrusted. I think our trust in it should be based on what is says, does, and stands up for - rather than relying on guesses about the motivations of its participants.</br><br></br><br>My hunch about BzzAgent is that most of its agents will create buzz for stuff they actually like, and not for stuff they don't. There may be a few nutters involved but on the whole I'd prefer marketing dollars to go into methods relying on the quality of the product more than the sizzle of the admen.<br> <br> <br><br> <br> <br> <br></br>Johnnie MooreFri, 04 Mar 2005 00:36:12 -0000
