Andy Brice today the front page of Slashdot and has been jackpotting all over the Net at reddit, digg and elsewhere. Why? Because Andy turned on the lights on a stinky little cockroach of a secret in the online software industry: a lot of “5-star” software download sites awards are bs-lies. His post as of now has 158 comments and trackbacks. Tilt!

Andy - Here’s the other dirty little secret you’ve come across: you’ve done some real muckraking and the world is hungry for it!

There used to be a time in this country [The USA] when people called newsmen and newswomen would go out and cover some dirty secret that people had a right to know. Sometimes it would be very big - like Watergate. But for every Watergate, there were a 1000 City Council gates, 1000 little candles of darkness where one group of people connive money, power or influence from others.

Were being the operative word.

I hope you - and other bloggers, microISV or not - do more posts like this! Please let me know - as one (ex) investigative reporter to another - if you need any help re how to nail bastards who need nailing. Blog On!
