I love blogs, blogging, and bloggers... I've spent the last three years working on building the community and business, and I just can't stand to see people come in and try and take this amazing medium and use it for COVERT marketing. I agree with you 100% that advertisers and bloggers who do covert marketing will be ignored and/or hated. However, there are a lot of folks who are new to the media space and they don't understand exactly how evil this stuff is. It's up to us to hold the line... I mean, Tim Draper invested in PayPerPost! That's a big validation, and I'm shocked he would put his name on covert marketing frankly. The reason I fight for the blogosphere is because I love it.
