I guess it's just about how that might happen... for example, web-based advertising seems far less of an issue to me than RSS feed advertising which seems again far less of an issue as writing about something directly... but then again if you're totally upfront about it (I mean, like Robin Good's reviews etc. which I happily subscribe to but am sure he makes money from, cos they're so good!).... aaaaaarrrrgggghhhh Whatever, I guess, I'm interested in this though now so am probably going to hang around and write about it myself... double bugger ;oD Now you’ve got me too you see, I want to hang around and am thinking about it more because you’re doing it…. bugger :D

What you say is pretty much my fear about doing this and I totally understand where you're coming from. I too am "skeptically positive" about this (love that phrase!). I'm not sure how this is going to turn out, but time will tell... the jury is still out with me too on the moral/ethical issues. Cheers, Richard Thanks for your comments.

It's not dishonesty, it's a form of capitalism to which you don't agree. It's also your right to delete him from your blogroll. Overall, it seems like an OK system - for now. I also understand that this could lead to some conflict of interest issues, as Stowe Boyd has suggested. For now, I'll remain skeptically positive, and cheer them on for making some cash. At this point in my free-agent career, cash is good. My bank does not recognize my blog as a capital asset ;-) If he’s up front about it, as he is, then what is the problem?
