Review sites get tough with generative AI – but it’s just the beginning (updated)

By |2023-08-07T15:34:12+01:00July 28th, 2023|

Review sites get tough with generative AI – but it’s just the beginning (Updated to add input from G2) Enterprise review sites are finally taking a firm stance against reviewers using generative AI in review submissions. It’s hardly a surprise, except it took them almost eight months. And, of course, the outright ban also raises further questions. The story so far – it wasn't long after ChatGPT launched [...]

Why M2M is making the perfect 5* peer review score more credible

By |2023-07-26T18:47:44+01:00July 4th, 2023|

Why M2M is making the perfect 5* peer review more credible As strategic advisors on enterprise peer reviews, we often encounter vendors who are frustrated that competitors have achieved yet another perfect review score – the full five stars on Gartner Peer Insights (GPI) and G2, or the perfect 10 on TrustRadius. “How can this review be real?” they question. “They can’t have THAT MANY happy customers, surely!” [...]

The pain of a three-star vendor-sourced review

By |2023-06-28T14:17:59+01:00June 28th, 2023|

The pain of a three-star vendor-sourced review They’re relatively rare but still come up often enough to make tech vendors wince: the dreaded three-star customer review. Vendors hate them, yet the principal review sites maintain that a smattering of 3* reviews is healthy. We’d agree, but these more critical views don’t need to come from vendor-sourced reviews. On Gartner Peer Insights (GPI), for example, reviews come from two [...]

Why the man behind the curtain should stay there

By |2020-10-28T19:29:50+01:00May 26th, 2020|

The UK Prime Minister’s special advisor, Dominic Cummings, allowed himself to be manoeuvred into a position that no special advisor wants to be in: that of needing to explain themselves to the media, on the record. Consequently the world got to see Cummings, the PM's man behind the curtain, squirm in his chair in the garden of Number 10 Downing Street, as he doggedly stuck to his story about why he broke the COVID-19 lockdown.

The price of losing your reputation? Ask United Airlines

By |2020-10-28T23:26:39+01:00April 10th, 2017|

In the end, the price for United Airlines of losing its reputation came down to the cost of four seats on a flight from Chicago to Louisville, KY – a round trip that usually costs less than $400 in coach. As you’ve probably already seen, as it’s all over the news and social media, the airline “solved” an overbooking problem by forcibly dragging a passenger out of their seat. [...]

“On the internet, nobody knows you’re a dog”. This famous saying was coined in 1993 by cartoonist Peter Steiner, and published by The New Yorker. Over the years, this has come to refer to the fact that, thanks to the anonymity of the internet, both people and things are not necessarily who or what they claim to be. Fast forward 24 years and the issue of digital identity is [...]

Was this just too Uber arrogant?

By |2020-10-28T22:49:10+01:00December 22nd, 2016|

Ride-sharing firm Uber is edgy and disruptive, I get that. It’s part of the way that Uber positions itself to the market – it’s a hip service, not something stuffy and tired like a regular taxi. In fact, Uber goes to great lengths to underline that it’s not a taxi service.
