I’m pretty sure My Circle On Trial is the kind of fake character blog Scoble et al have been calling out lately. I found it via a blog ad on LVPD Shocked by Murder of Officer and Its Own Inexperience, a fairly serious article about the on the ground effect of Scalia’s decision about police and exclusion of illegally taken evidence.
Since there are more anti-corporate class action lawsuits these days than you can shake a stick at, I had to read quite a bit of Claudia Lake’s reporting on this so-called “Trial of the Century” before realizing the site is a joke. Call me funnybone-deficient or thick as a brick for not recognizing the intent immediately if you like but the whole thing in no way makes me more likely to switch to Alltel, the cellphone company behind it.
If anything, I agree more with Robert and Steve Rubel that such sites are wasted energy that can be much more productively used to directly engage customers and potential customers.
