Payperpost Mumblings

IT Chapters, Link of the Day 3 Comments »

Interesting comment thread starting here regarding Payperpost.  Payperpost is the company that allows bloggers to be paid if they blog about products.  I find them ethically wrong as bloggers do not have to disclose that they are advertising which is deceptive and pretty much evil. 

As with most advertisers such as the NY Times and Google, they force onto the adverts a line that says “Adverts by ” or something similiar.  Payperpost’s business model is in my mind a really bad thing.

I cannot get over the tone of this post by Google trying to explain how the word Google is trademarked even in the face of prior art.  You don’t control the English language so you can take that post and shove it.
