It doesn&#039;t come off as complaining. It comes off as business advice (better customer service is needed to keep loyal customers blah blah blah).</description>

		<description>The fakers are pretty easy to spot and if they abuse their power, they&#039;ll lose out.  Nobody is going to stick around to hear someone complain all day.</description>

		<description>Loren - Thanks.
Joshua - See you at the family reunion :)

Sammy - I&#039;m not talking about getting traffic. I&#039;m talking about the growing blogger ego that is permeating throughout the blogosphere. If bloggers exaggerate their experiences to get riled up on a blog post because it makes a post more likely to go viral than those people aren&#039;t genuine. They&#039;re fake and pathetic.</description>

		<description>[...] Let’s be clear about this. Companies give freebies to small-time bloggers (which 99.9% are, and yes, that includes you) to flatter you. They know that almost all of what they’re providing you for free is a waste but they realize that the aggregate of this blogger outreach might have a real impact. The aggregate is where the value is. You, by yourself, and your dinky little site, aren’t worth anything by itself.  via crastinate.com [...]</description>
