		<description><![CDATA[As talked about at length in a previous posting, the brands / corporations are paying online snooping companies, err&#8230; &#8217;social media monitoring&#8217; companies&#8217; to scour the internet for bad words said about them and their products.

		<description><![CDATA[After scanning my web server&#8217;s logs I found some unusual activity and decided to investigate further. I discovered that it seems that brands pay some internet companies to scan blog sites to see what things people are saying about them and their products.

		<description><![CDATA[Reluctantly, it seems that the Â£6.5 million-a-year American-born chief executive of Burberry, Rose Marie Bravo, has decided that fighting a war against chavs is unwinnable. And, as the expression goes: if you can&#8217;t beat them, join them &#8212; or at least appear to side with them, especially if your brand&#8217;s future depends on damage limitation.

		<description><![CDATA[When you see how much time and money goes into creating &#8220;designer&#8221; brands like Gucci, Pucci (yes, that&#8217;s a new one on me too!), Prada and Burberry that try to create an image  of exclusivity, glamour and luxury that only the &#8220;privileged few&#8221; are lucky enough to have access to, it is damned funny [...]]]></description>
