[…] Steve Wilhelm (who’s fascinated by this site Captology) sent me this interesting YouTube clip of an upcoming service called Fake Your Space (Video) that let’s MySpace users that want to look cool (build credibility) by buying fake friends that will leave public messages on one’s MySpace blog. Online life mimics real life, so kids with many contacts will appear cooler than those that don’t. Hey you, Mr Professional, don’t laugh! […]

Comment on Dan Brown’s crash course in book collecting by Gun

There are a lot of flaws in Dan Brown’s books. I think that this is because he uses the internet to research his material. Like the 666 panes of glass at the pyramid at the Louevre in the DaVinci Code. He is generally sloppy on research. Finding Dan Brown book errors is not exactly a challenge.

Comment on AIDSpan, Global Fund Observer, and Social Market Analysts by Nic Fulton

Steve,

I think the “Better Business Bureau” (http://www.bbb.org) attempts to do some of this for charities (http://www.give.org). This is clearly neither a sub- or super- set with NGOs, or foundations, but may be worth looking at. Someone I know in New York used to work for them and said that their mandate is mainly to stop charity scams, but they also look at percentage of funds put directly into action (i.e. rather than admin costs).

Cheers,

Nic.
