schestowitzI've just looked up "taggstar" in wordpress plugin, but was unable to find it. Their official site says taggstar is not even approved by wordpress, so I worry that it might be malicious by nature. I can ignore my gut feeling and install it anyway if it seems beneficial enough; it seems like "enhance" for them, not "enhance" for the sites on which they want themselves installed.Feb 01 16:44

schestowitz"[J]ust about every PR firm offers to help “manage the perception of your company in online communities” these days. What do you think that means? Astroturfing Slashdot, Youtube, etc. In my various manangement positions it’s been offered to me. Indeed, some of the companies offer to create negative publicity for your competition that way – HP had a publicity firm for its Linux activities that told us it would do that when we Feb 01 19:56
