There is a fine line between fraud and marketing. Sony crossed it. All they had to do was let us know it was a spoof and we could have had fun with it.

I don’t see the problem with the Sony blog. It’s all good marketing fun isn’t it? I mean, people didn’t really think it was for real and they got some powerful buzz going. Why is that bad?

I liked the babbling idiot in the corner comment. I know this person who is like this and I find it sincerely annoying.

Good advice Jim,
The more you participate in the conversation the more value you are to the community.

Blatant self promotion
It becomes clear very quickly when you post only self promotional content. Resist the urge to twist every conversation into a marketing opportunity. Participate, engage and add value by supplying information. THAT is what helps you establish credibility and develop relationships. Putting ads or self promotional content into the discussion only cheapens the experience for everybody.

I think giving information is the best policy.
