Is You Is, Or Is You Ain’t: Strumpette, or Puppette?

I was alerted by Tara Hunt and others that Strumpette might be a puppette (which is my new term for phony character blogs). It’s kind of leftovers by this point, but the fisking of Strumpette by Mike Krempasky (see this, this, and this) with support from Doc Searls and Robert French, suggests that the blog may not be merely anonymous, but a total fabrication. Doc has a good summary of the fisking.

Give that the blog is up again, clawing her way into our thoughts, we’ll have to wait and see.

[Update: Good insight from Dennis Howlett: “Need less to say, there’s a debate about whether Amanda is real or imagined. Doh - who cares? It’s fun.”]
