this blog on National Public Radio
Regular readers of this blog have probably read my posts from the category In The Amazone. There was a piece that just ran on National Public Radio’s Morning Edition that mentioned this blog!
I have written posts about Amazon.com’s customer reviewing system and in particular, Amazon’s NUMBER ONE reviewer, the mysterious Harriet Klausner.
The NPR piece by Martha Woodroof featured several guests who commented on Amazon’s highly successful customer reviewing feature. If you missed the piece on Morning Edition it is archived on the NPR website.
If you listen closely you will hear Martha Woodroof mention the Dayton Daily News, this blog, and Harriet Klausner. If you listen very closely, you will hear me expressing my thoughts about Harriet-my lonely voice crying in the wilderness.
Here’s a link to the NPR page that contains audio of the piece: Click here.
If you want some background on this situation with some of the Amazon top customer reviewers you can learn more by scrolling through some of my posts on this blog in the category of In The Amazone.
Some of the posts attracted a number of interesting comments. As of this post the mysterious Harriet Klausner is closing in on her 16 thousandth book review on Amazon. The second place reviewer trails Harriet by almost 10 thousand reviews. And Harriet likes every book that she reads……
