An example I use in class...

This is an example of a discussion about a product that raises issues about the authenticity of the author...and also how quickly any posting viewed as inauthentic is challenged....from memory, it came from a gadget discussion site..

My girlfriend and I both bought zunes today at Best Buy. After we installed the software (worked flawlessy on xp pro on both our notebooks). We started downloading the crap out of the marketplace with our subscriptions. I just met her a hour ago at a coffee shop and we sent each other some songs to test everything out. A bunch of people kept asking us what we were using and what the hell we were doing. It was pretty cool. I am not a big fan of the 3 x 3 plan, but if you have the subscription package on marketplace, its not a big deal at all since all songs are free (just your $15 fee per month)

I don't wanna hate the Zune. Really, I don't. Even still, you can't tell me someone other than Bill Gates is signing your paycheck. I don't believe one word of your post.

XX, ummm, so if someone has a good experience with a Zune, they must be lying and being paid by MS? Come on, it is possible, and probably likely, for consumers to have a positive experience.

Hmmm....

Smells funny. Me thinks you are working in Redmond alot these days. Something smells brown and its not your Zune my friend.
