Re: Tuesday, October 15, 2002
See, that's the problem. Doc didn't get paid to blog about the event, he got paid to speak at the event. He is a "for hire" speaker, he is supposed to be paid. I expect him to be paid. He blogged about the fact that he spoke at the event. In other words, he blogged about what he was doing, which is something that the majority of bloggers do every day. If one blogs about what they did on their job, are they expected to disclose how much they are paid? I understand disclosure when it is germain to the topic. If Doc was posting a formal review of software, and recommended it highly, then there may be a problem with him not disclosing the fact that Microsoft paid for his trip and food. That did not happen here, so I guess I don't get the necessity for disclosure in this case. There are responses to this message:
