Google also scare some of us smaller folks, but mostly with worries about what
will happen when larry and sergi stop being in control, given the massive amount
of power Google have.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I was warned by someone not to click on
any links on his site, that it automatically
subscribes you. That might explain the
numbers. Who knows? Who cares? The media
isn't hard to spin if you work hard at it.
And if Microsoft is paying you and Oracle,
the media tends to follow. Cf. Rob Enderle.
If they provide insider stuff, he has the
ability to announce stuff before anyone else
has it.
But the results are hilarious. Nothing ever
comes true, or the stuff I've tracked, anyway.
Then the media either has to put up a corrected
article saying what their headline said was
likely to happen didn't happen or they pretend
they never said it would happen and are silent
when it doesn't happen or write up something
quick about some other detail on the topic.
Who can take it seriously? Enderle was wrong
on absolutely everything about SCO. In his case,
he was man enough to admit it in the end. But
he's still being quoted.
Here's why. The media need quotations. Their
style is:
1. Here's what happened today or will happen tomorrow.
2. X says it's great.
3. Y says it's awful.
4. Time will tell.
That's the article. So they need X and Y. Florian
puts out emails to journalists offering himself as
X or Y by providing easy to use quotations. They get
the headlines, and then eyeballs on the article. Then
it doesn't happen. Wash and repeat.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Then it could get followers, and people could see how many followers it has, and
it would be easy for the media to follow.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

As did O'Gara, Enderle, etc - for a while.
It's called sensational
journalism and reporting on facts from both sides is against the rules of
sensational journalism.
And the reality is: I'd rather the sensational
journalism media stick with their sources. Let new media willing to do proper
journalism rise up to replace them.

I beg to differ in respect to his opinion shaping; as you put it. From my view
much of what he writes and says have been fed to him; I doubt he could have all
the "insight" of his own volution without help.
Sure, his "corn fed" opinions surely effect the uninformed, ignorant
or others that just want to steal but such thinly guised actions eventually see
the light of day. Rats prefer to work in darkness.
