walterbyrd writes "In a recent article, Forbes bashes bloggers big time (forbesdontbug/forbesdontbug)." From the article: "Blogs started a few years ago as a simple way for people to keep online diaries. Suddenly they are the ultimate vehicle for brand-bashing, personal attacks, political extremism and smear campaigns. It's not easy to fight back: Often a bashing victim can't even figure out who his attacker is. No target is too mighty, or too obscure, for this new and virulent strain of oratory. Microsoft has been hammered by bloggers; so have CBS, CNN and ABC News, two research boutiques that criticized IBM's Notes software, the maker of Kryptonite bike locks, a Virginia congressman outed as a homosexual and dozens of other victims--even a right-wing blogger who dared defend a blog-mob scapegoat.

Hopefully reasonable readers apply reasonablefilters to what they read.There may be incendiary posts, unnecessary posts, and inappropriate post (includingbut not limited to trolling, flaming, and slander), but in the collective bodyof blogs are useful nuggets worth mining. Vendors, companies, and individualsbenefit if they choose by tuning in to this.The evolution of airing a complaint has evolved from snail mail (good luck), tophone calls (good luck), and with the internet, to "Contact Us" (hmmm, good luck).None of these in my experience have been as effective as I prefer becausethe receiving complainant can easily ignore the missives as so much whining, andinvisible that they don't have to be responsive.Not all ignore complaints, pleas for help, etc. Notably (andI'm only picking a couple) I've always received timely and helpfulreplies from Amazon.com and Thumbnails Plus [slashdot.org] . These areonly two examples, I could cite more.But with the volume raised, the signal amplified with the more public blogosphereI've seen signs there can be positive outcomes. Again, while some posts areinflammatory only, valid complaints about activities, governments, and companiesin such a public forum spur action faster and more effectively than in the past.And, as with all emerging conduits, mechanisms are being built and refinedeventually improving the signal to noise ratio to a much more acceptable number(case in point... you troll or flame too much here, even anonymously, youget shut down until you clean up your act).I am looking forward to the future that is the blogosphere.

He's apparantly realized that his only hope of keeping his job indefinitely is to convince his bosses that having one's arguments meticulously dissected by flaw-finding weblogs is a meaningless annoyance that happens to everybody, and to dissuade his bosses from ever paying close attention to the flaws found in Dan's own work.Don't even click the link and give them an ad impression. Unless the man has just lost his mind, the whole reason for writing these shrill rants is to draw more "Slashdot effect" hits. It's quite possible that Forbes is thrilled to see all the attention in their web server logs, not yet realizing they're getting it by driving away the "Wall Street Journal" audience in favor of the more populous "National Enquirer" crowd.

For example, if you do as the author suggests, find "copyrighted text" on their site and then use it for the basis of a DMCA takedown notice, they might be able to justify their usage via fair use. If so, it's possible for them to countersue you for sending a misleading or inaccurate takedown notice.

Of course, you may remember the earlier Lyons article in which he defended [forbes.com] Maureen O'Gara's attack on groklaw's [groklaw.net] PJ. He doesn't appear to be an open source enthusiast.

We're quick to rush in and defend blogs - they're a great way for the underdogs to expose actual wrongdoing and injustices - but maybe not all bloggers deserve our support.The truth is, Forbes is right, blogs allow yahoos with an axe to grind and phony information to gain publicity adn credibility - after all, they're the underdog, standing against the faceless corporation. In a day where pretty much all of us are very skeptical of anything published in the mainstream maybe far too many of us are willing to take anything read in a blog as the gospel truth (I read it on the Internet, so it has to be true).FUD flows in both directions, and businesses should be at least aware of the blogosphere, and that bloggers may be spreading misinformation, and how to counter it with the truth. Businesses, of course, also need to know that the blogosphere is watching their every move - and they need to be more careful now than ever that they always act ethically - something thye should be doing anyway.Reading the Frobes article deeper, it's pretty hard to defend. The article itself is full of misinformation and despicable ideas (in their sidebars, they side with SCO, malign Pamela Jones, and suggest using the DMCA to take down blogs). Nevertheless, the general idea of my post still remains - maybe we're a bit too trusting of blogs, and it doesn't hurt to look at the other's guys point of view. Bloggers are just as capable of spreading FUD as a corporation - even more capable because wheras a corporation has very very little accountability, an anonymous blogger has even less.
