What is buzzing and who are buzzers?
The article is about new advertising tactic called "buzzing", in which individual people are hired to personally promote products to people they are in contact with. It is also stated in the passage that it has caused a lot of controversy. It points to three main consequences of this method of advertising. However, the lecturer who is a buzzer himself is invited to class to talk about this. He refutes each of author's reasons.
First, the passage states that in this method the consumers are not aware that they are being buzzed and consider it as a personal praise. However, the lecturer claims that the advertising companies hire the buzzers from that product's consumers who have liked that. He claims that they are not being paid to praise what they have not used and liked.
Second, the article claims that people will easily believe what they are hearing from buzzers and do not have guards such as they are watching an advertisement through television. The buzzer in the lecture gainsay this prospective of the author. He states that in contrast to the point of lecture in this method people have more opportunity to ask a lot of questions about different aspects of the product and if the buzzer could not answer them logically they will not buy these products.
Moreover, the passage states that the most important disadvantage of this method is that it potentially will spread dishonesty between people in the society. The man refutes this point. He claims that the companies will not be able to hire buzzers if their product was not good enough. All of the buzzers are telling truth about the product and when people being buzzed try that by themselves they will be more confident about buzzed products.
