I was blogging yesterday about Valentin Petcu (Romanian blogger also known as Zozo) and about his actions against Romanian companies, brands and people. He is often paid to do this and he has to invent crazy stories. Because of my open criticism regarding his lack of ethics and the heavy use of blackmailing, unverified information and rumours he decided to start a negative campaign against me. He was encouraged because of the NDAs I’ve signed and because of my lack of reaction in the previous scandals (when he and his associates tried to involve me).
I’m writing this post in order to explain a situation and to present the truth as Valentin Petcu is paid to spread rumors and has a secret agenda. Also because I met a a business partner today and he asked me about Real Ad SRL? a Romanian company I knew nothing about. Continue reading ‘Real Ad SRL – the company’

Intro Note: I really don’t like scandals, propaganda, and lies – I usually don’t comment on my blog when people attack me but this time I had a strong reason to expose the lies, blackmailing and pressures the team from ASLS faced from a local Romanian blogger when working for WBF2009.
Vali Petcu (also known as Zoso), is a Romanian blogger aspiring to get “A listed”. He claims to be one of the most read bloggers in Romania but the problem he had when got out of trafic.ro (official auditing of Romanian websites) was that he had only 200 readers and a very strong long tail (people searching for Romanian TV star, Mircea Badea, trivia, sexual content, etc). This is also a reason for keeping out of SATI (also auditing romanian traffic).
On the other hand, Vali Petcu is in the “dark” side of the blogging business, blackmailing companies and using a network of blogs for attacking companies and people. I had a strong research on the matter as I was on of the attacked persons. As a normal person, I had to ask myself “why?” and tried to understand who is this guy and what is he planning with his network.

Romanian president Traian Basescu was the surprise of the day (at least for me) because he came to a blogging event and had a very interesting speech about new media, twitter, blogging and online journalism.
Very surprised to hear Traian Basescu talking about online advertising on blogs about the twitter revolution in Moldova or about the Internet attacks in Estonia and Georgia. Continue reading ‘Romanian President, Traian Basescu speaking about Internet at WBF’
