One writer for a major tech site was flown into a company's headquarters to preview a new technology (which he could give an exclusive on). <br /><br />I think the key thing is transparency. I'm relatively tolerant of different kinds of compensations as long as they are disclosed. <br /><br />I'm less concerned about what review/technology decide to cover than what they decide to ignore (for space or time limitations). <br /><br />That said, I think Literary License does a fantastic job. I've gotten several good titles from here.Robert Naglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09244278749337954786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-121649472180371405.post-74541943734658695802009-06-25T09:57:50.067-05:002009-06-25T09:57:50.067-05:00Tracking bloggers that are in violation of FTC rul...Tracking bloggers that are in violation of FTC rules would require quite a large staff of full-time employees. That said, I do feel it's wrong for bloggers to accept gifts unless they have fully disclosed that they have benefited by writing the post.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554217416500328610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-121649472180371405.post-92104416446153081022009-06-25T06:20:19.176-05:002009-06-25T06:20:19.176-05:00All I've ever been offered is books, as well. ...All I've ever been offered is books, as well.
