荒らし君といっしょ »
Categories:
この間、#joiito (IRC channel)にかなりハードな荒らし(troll)が現れた。面白かったのは、その場にいたみんなが「うわ！ ナマの荒らしキター！ 遊んであげよう」みたいな感じだったこと。その荒らし君（ちゃん？）は陽気なIRC仲間たちに完全に圧倒されちゃったみたいで、みんなが自分のことをネタに楽しんでるんだってことに気づくまでにかなり時間がかかったみたいだ。荒らしの対応をメタレベルでやってくれて、しかもそれを楽しんでくれるコミュニティがあるってほんとにいいもんだと思う。

Referral Marketing »
Categories:
ブロッグの一つのよさはスパムがなかったことだったのですが、"referral marketing"で始まりました。ブロッガーには自分にリンクしてる人が気になるので、皆よくロブを見て"referer"（どのリンクから人が飛んできてるか）を一生懸命見ます。それで、そのrefererのサイトを見ます。でも、"referral marketing"は、スパムサイトからいんちきトラッフィックを送ってブロッガーを自分のサイトに呼ぶ。しかも、ＭＴなど新しいブロッグソフトは自分へリンクしてる人を勝手に"trackback"しますので、ブロッグの読者も引っかかる。フム。どうしよう。
Wired NewsWhen the Spam Hits the Blogs
By Michelle Delio
02:00 AM Oct. 26, 2002 PDTStrange things are afoot in blogland.
Owners of the conversational websites known as weblogs have recently noticed that their referral logs have become the newest target for spam.
Referral logs, intended to collect information on who visited a website and how they happened to arrive there, are being stuffed with bogus links. Curious bloggers who click on a logged link to see who visited their site are instead led to pornography or advertising sites.
Some bloggers publish a list that automatically updates links to sites that have linked to them. So visitors to spammed blogs who explore the link lists also find those sites full of porn and sales pitches.
In most cases the link spam appears to have been added to logs by one of several companies that are selling a service they describe as "referral marketing."

最近BoingBoingのCoryがExpediaでのいやな経験の話をブロッグしました。そのあとかなりDiscussionが盛り上がって途中からExpediaの社員の言い合いになってしまいました。よく2chでありますよね。このPublicな場で匿名で内部の人が色々言い合うのって面白い現象ですね。
JocelynI will never ever look at Expedia the same way....I work for them. I am a Supervisor at Expedia. I still work for this company and they burn people everyday. In order to make money we charge stupid fees and no one cares for the customer. They give you cases to make you wait for nothing. In the end we keep your money. Cases sit in queues for weeks, and all agents are trained to give you the runaround. The managers and director are paid to sit in meetings on wednesdays and do nothing to help. They often talk of other call centers doing better in calls, they only care about calls answered not helping the customer. Managers do nothing, answer no calls, and render no solutions. The director is a fat guy who scratches his back on doors and brags about his chili beans! The company is a joke. They sell rooms when the hotels are over booked and will use any excuse in the book to not refund you. All supervisors are no help, we are purposely paid to send calls to other agents posing as supervisors, they call themselves customer care. Our customer advocate team is a joke, all day they email each other and do not resolve cases....but I need the money so I stay....sad but true. Expedia is a joke, please use travelocity.
EXPbadmanI am an OSR agent for Expedia.com and have to admit. I have to say I am ticked that Expedia's employees are here bad mouthing. Expedia does not do anything illegal.If the customer is not willing to read the rules and still books the reservation they are totally responsible for the bill.
Honestly, there are way too many people out there that should not use the computer. It would make our jobs easier.
