Pumping and dumping stocks is a crime per the SEC. The blog entry and this thread is purely for information purposes so people don't fall for this.
A more "legit" use for this buzz building method would be MOVIE promotions (ie., movie buzz gets built up by huge number of bloggers blogging about the title of the movie, etc)
It's actually limitless re what kind of product, etc. Another obvious one is DOMAIN buzz building.
The crime aspect was just the most dramatic example.
