Many consumers ignore commercial advertisements. In response, advertising companies have started using a new tactic, called “buzzing." The advertisers hire people, buzzers, who personally promote (buzz) products to people they know or meet. The key part is that the buzzers do not reveal that they are being paid to promote anything. They behave as though they were just spontaneously praising a product during normal conversation. Buzzing has generated a lot of controversy, and many critics would like to see it banned.

First, the critics complain that consumers should know whether a person praising a product is being paid to praise the product. Knowing this makes a big difference: we expect the truth from people who we believe do not have any motive for misleading us. But with buzzing what you hear is just paid advertising, which may well give a person incorrect information about the buzzed product.

Second, since buzzers pretend they are just private individuals, consumers listen to their endorsements less critically than they should. With advertisements in print or on TV, the consumer is on guard for questionable claims or empty descriptions such as "new and improved." But when consumers do not know they are being lobbied, they may accept claims they would otherwise be suspicious of. This may suit the manufacturers, but it could really harm consumers.

And worst of all is the harmful effect that buzzing is likely to have on social relationships. Once we become aware that people we meet socially may be buzzers with a hidden agenda, we will become less trustful of people in general. So buzzing will result in the spread of mistrust and the expectation of dishonesty.

Both reading and lecture focus upon the debate on the company's markers called, "buzzing". A tactic for advertising products by people who are satisfied with them. The author put forward which is disregarded by the speaker. The lecturer states a few counterpoints to advocate her opinion.

First, according to the author, buzzers are completely had information about products, and the person who gives advertisement is being paid to sell the product. On the other hand, the speaker states that this claim is truly wrong and buzzers are not ordinary people. They are who used the products before and telling the facts to the customers.

Second, the author claims that consumers listen to the buzzers less, because they assume that buzzers only on guard to reply and illustrates descriptions about the products. On the contrary, the lecture professes that the fact is, there are many people who ask lots of questions about products, prices, services, and If the buzzers do not answer good, they cannot sell the product.

Lastly, the passage advocates that buzzers have deep social relations and in this case, people are less likely to trust them. Conversely, the author rebuts the statement saying that buzzers recruiting is not based on their social relationships and If the product is bad, the company would not recruit the buzzers and they are good experienced and trustful people.
