Comments and trust

I occasionally vent in this blog (as the 10 or so regular readers know well)... recently after venting about the deceptive nature of DimDim conferencing software, I was left a comment suggesting I try our something called RHub.

RHub doesn't specify much about what it really does on their web site. It gives lots of features, but no technical details about how it actually works. This does not sit well with me, so I

The post had no actual links in it, so that was a plus.

The author of the comment had her address pointed towards The Social Robot, which has a lot of ads on it, but I gave the benefit of the doubt.

Hey Mike. I assure you that I am a real person. And thanks to Google Alerts, I found your blog. I was leaving a real comment- I volunteer for a non-profit that a friend and I are trying to get started. I hope my comment helped you...sorry if I seemed dubious!

Kelsey, what is the non-profit? Is there any way I can help?

It's actually a part of my website-- The Social Robot-- providing social media and marketing services to non-profit organizations. If need your help, I'll let you know!
