A friend of mine is making decent money going to the web chat rooms and promoting music and products. He appears as one of the chatters and puts in good word for his employers. He says that such targetted marketing is common practise now.
I wonder if the same is true for interactive public opinion sites like Gupshup where a bunch of paid agents could promote and endorse certain philosophies and ideologies. Lies told repeatedly become the truth.
So my fellow guppies, are there paid agents among us?
