		<description><![CDATA[I love posts like this. They rock! Why? Well because there&#039;s all this noise about the purity of blogs and citizen journalism, then so called A-Listers go and write unfactual crap devoid of any serious research, devoid of views of both sides of the argument, and bandy around terms like &quot;unethical&quot; when there is no official code of ethics on blogging etc etc. 

FYI, disclosurepolicy.org pretty much fixes the disclosure issue. You should take a look - you could do with a disclosure policy of you own. 

Anyway, keep up the blogging. The more factless FUD you print, the faster we move towards the realization that blogging is a pass-time - like masturbation.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[[...] The new hot topic in the blogosphere is the whole idea about getting paid to post. PayPerPost allows you to pick a topic from a list of advertisers &amp; blog about it. Disclosure is a big deal for most critics but I can see this product/site/idea taking off. People are greedy, and they will most definitely sell out to their readers for a couple extra bucks here and there. This is by no means encapsulating all bloggers out there, but most are young and in need of cash. That will pave the way to paid posts everywhere. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks Toni.  The company is running all-out with DP.org, advertiser interest and blogger interest.  We tried to help move the discussion forward and want more voices than our own involved.  The topic of transparency is much larger than PPP so it will take multiple entities embracing a flexible framework.

Let&#039;s start with whether bloggers/audiences embrace Disclosure Policies before we start demanding things.  If done correctly, the mere absence of a Disclosure Policy should communicate reader-beware to audiences.  I would share that PayPerPost also announced they will pay people to adopt Disclosure Policies.  I&#039;d love to see other blogging platforms make a commitment that significant -- any ideas?

I&#039;d note that TC&#039;s article on the topic is puzzling.  As we&#039;ve discussed here, transparency starts with telling your audience what to expect.  When Mike adopts his own Disclosure Policy then I&#039;ll start considering his rants are about transparency instead of just controversy, traffic and protecting his advertisers from adopting better ROI platforms like PayPerPost.]]></description>
