Why does a new medium have to default to old-media best practices? I'm not advocating for a free for all (nicely parodied by the Colbert Report here: http://www.comedycentral.com/motherload/<br />index.jhtml?ml_video=81284), but instead challenge bloggers to consider the many facets of the blogosphere before copying and pasting old media codes onto new formats. <br /><br />@mc - There is mild punishment when advertisers abuse the blogosphere. <br />"Wal-marting across America" and PSP's "All I Want for Xmas" blogs generated bad press within the sphere. However, I haven't seen any data relating the bad PR to decreased sales, so perhaps the backlash is negligible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20733865.post-72565162843282325522007-01-25T15:13:00.000-06:002007-01-25T15:13:00.000-06:00My point of view is a bit different.

But, do we have to create a code of ethics about the way that advertising is using the blogs? I refer to all those "posts" that had been written with the only purpose of getting the attention of the public opinion to sell one determinate product.<br />I am not sure about the answer. The power of blogging is that the reader (or we should say consumer?) has the option of comparing hundreds of opinions and can react immediately. He can create his own truth by surfing on the net.<br />But anyway... a code of ethics doesn't work if it doesn't have a punishment. Always technology goes faster than society.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
