Wayne: That’s why I didn’t write it, but instead write about it, LOL.

Avijit: Ouh we do have Ambassadors, look closely enough and yuo’ll see more than a handful in the Malaysian blogosphere :)

Ya, I guess this goes back to the old paid newspaper articles. Now, paying directly might be wrong, but what about wooing them to write something good about them?

For a while I had been wondering why companies dont have Blog ambassadors? Like actors and actress, they can be ambassadors for products, so why not bloggers also become their brand ambassadors online?

I have never trusted any sponsored posts because, IMHO, they are all biased.

I think that bloggers who write sponsored posts lack credibility (to be be trustworthy), integrity (able to discern what is right and wrong) and civility (respect for other people).

If one wants to be a media practitioner, I’d advise one to learn more about media ethics (especially pertaining to what one should/should not do) :stress:

If you don’t like it, don’t write it… With my own domain now, I prefer ReviewMe and Sponsored Reviews which their system is much more favourable to we bloggers.

Anyway, still have to wait for 90 days before I join anything…

I didn’t see that Opp but I wouldn’t have taken it either. But I will write about mortagages and loans from my perspective, if paid enough ;)
