Due to the internets influence on our lives we develop a trust espacialy with sites we commonly use and interact with. Every day millions of hungury people trust strangers oppinions on the quality of products, meals, to the  quality of service. Usualy this is even done with no interaction between the two parties beyond a paragraph or so of review. Durring 2011 Carl and Paul developed Technology for A San Diego based Reputation managemnet firm. As a team they delivered solutions to allow the company to control yelp, citysearch, Rate MD, Google, and many other online reputation management firms. Using proxys, anonymous VPN's, browser plug-ins, and a little AWS abuse, they delivered a product that could reduice and/or remove negative reviews, uprank and post reviews, and allow the reputation management company compleat control of the future of the review. While never able to bring the product to scale due to managemnet issues, and a constant feeling of being horable people, all tactics and techniques have been tested and seen results as far as and beyond one year.
