Move over Atkins Diet. WAAAY over. Here comes Heidi Diaz and she looks kinda hungry
The classic New Yorker cartoon, showing the dog at his computer saying to another dog that on the computer no one can tell you’re a dog, is now as dated as floppy disks.  In one of the more sordid tales of Internet scamming, Heidi Diaz, AKA "Kimmer," is having what appears to be her substantial derriere hauled into Southern California court today. She faces multiple charges in a class-action lawsuit filed by former clients of her "Kimkins" weight loss program.

In a Web 2.0 world, frauds get called out, along with dogs.  

Bottom line here for the brave new world of digital marketing and branding, your obligation to transparency isn’t just about good citizenship.  It’s about avoiding consumer rage.  What is Web 2.0 consumer rage?  Road rage on the info highway.  With IEDs scattered along the way.  Engage in honest conversations, or die.
