The Truth About View From the Wing Revealed

There are a couple of ‘blog awards’ out there at present, this site is nominated in both of them, but I’m not pestering you for your vote.

Instead, I’m highly amused by the approaches others are taken. The Frequent Miler blog wrote an amusing piece on their supposed ‘campaign strategy’ for winning one of those. He’s doing opposition research on other bloggers and developing talking points, in case he has to go negative.

About this blog?

View from the Wing: Full time job, owner or partner in numerous businesses. writes 40 to 50 blog posts per day. Alien? Cyborg? Talking points: still researching (need to check that Cyborg angle)

Commenter Rob wrote,

View From The Wing is obviously an automated SEO-driven software agent set to draw advertising and referral revenue by posting highly precise content targeted at miles-addicted people at frequent intervals. (The giveaway is the name LEFF = Lure Every Frequent Flyer.) The surrogate appearing at frequent flyer events, embodying the software agent’s artificial intelligence, is akin to the one in the movie Her (substituting miles for flesh obvs.)

Lure Every Frequent Flyer.

Perhaps that’s it.
