Few facts that all of us should be aware of:

1. a number of companies doing business over the internet have engaged in the following conduct: the owner or people close to the company subscribe to Silicon Investors or other popular sites by opening up a few different accounts under different names ; they support the company and post their so called positive experiences with the company; from time to time, they even congratulate each other (themselves) for having chosen that company over competitors; they misinform and make false promises as to the company's product without imposing liability on the company for no one knows that they are only fictitious names created for the purpose of advertising the company's product. They bash the competitors, without making the company look bad in that readers are under the impression that the authors are all consumers like themselves

2. a number of companies offer monetary incentives, including discount on commission, etc. to so called friends of the company who categorically support certain company or product in different chat rooms or on discussion threads

It is not clear where and when you may encounter one of the above-mentioned situations, but they occur far more often than anyone of us can imagine. Always ask yourself why a certain individual(s) is so protective of certain product or company. Next, ask yourself whether you would respond and act in the same manner if someone voiced his opinion or made remarks about the brand of car you drive, toothpaste you use, watch you wear, or the TV you own.

One can only wonder!
YOU BE THE JUDGE!
