Bread and Games

Someone told me she used the tag ‘nude’ for all her blogs, and she was convinced it brought her more traffic. This inspired me for last posting’s title. Seems it worked, i had a brief peak. Though that might be the fallout from this weekend blogger’s meet as well

So … election day is near. Speculations abound. I’m really curious, as the result will directly affect my work.

We interact with the government constantly. And i assure you that the party a minister belongs to has a whole lot of effect on how the ministry cooperates, very annoyingly. When it’s not in their party’s interest that a certain development succeeds, the underlings will do everything they can to throw a spanner in the works.

So independently of any opinions i might have, it’s actually in my project’s interest that one party dominates the game.

eMich caused a wee stir by unmasking the guy who writes for the blog of the mayor of Schaarbeek. The person in question posted a comment on bxl.blog under the politician’s name – and emich unmasked him – quite cleverly, i might add.

Well, we figured that politicians don’t write their own blogs. When the actual writer is trying to generate traffic under his employer’s name by commenting, is that to be considered wrong ?

I mean, he is supposed to be the spokesperson for the politician on the web. The politician implicitly gave him the permission to be him, virtually. Grey area. What do you think ?
