  "In a Race to Out-Rave Rivals,
   5-Star Web Reviews Go for $5"


      Shills are available
      for cheap.

      The focus of this story is on
      potential ways of identifying shills
      automatically, e.g. they tend to be
      strong on superlatives but light on
      details, except for a lot of
      irrelevant personal details

        This sounds a lot like a way to
        change the tactics of the shills
        without solving the problem.
