fwiw, his list of "major sites" that got fooled is rather misleading and sketchy in its own way:
"yahoo" - syndicated content
"cnet" - (UK) cnet.co.uk's crave blog
"gizmodo" - (UK) gizmodo.co.uk
not saying that you couldn't fool major sites, but this is a misrepresentative. You say "Gizmodo' without qualification, people expect you mean Gizmodo.com -- Not Gizmodo.co.uk. But hey, anything for a headline/clicks/press, right?
Edit: It should also be noted that most of the sites listed are not gaming sites despite his tirade against gaming journalists
- mpclark 14y agoIf he'd left it a while longer before fessing up (say until the US started waking up) he'd have got a lot more on that list.
- arn 14y agoya, but that's a different blog post. if you want to do that, do that. if you don't do it, don't make it seem like you did that.
