| Microsoft Korea and 777 should come from 
| Windows 7ÂÂs ÂÂSevenÂÂ. IÂÂve been many 
| bloggers events which held in Korea but this is 
| biggest blogger event that IÂÂve ever seen. MS 
| prepared light dinner meal and Windows 7 
| Ultimate (Eng Ver.) for all the attendances.

The silence of the shills?

| The FTC is allegedly planning to crackdown on bloggers/posters who recieve
| gifts/freebies for promoting products.   Its a practice we have highlighted
| here before and one in my opinion that completely destroys the faith
| in âhonest held beliefâ in the writings of many bloggers.
|
| Ever read something praising a proprietary product where it has no
| resembelance to your experience?  Its these type of posts which, because of
| the actions of certain proprietary firms means that when talking about
| proprietary software/products there is always a question of doubt in an
| honest held belief. (IMO)
|
| The practice though is commonplace here (that being word of mouth marketing)
| one such company who can create a marketing buzz for you (as mentioned in the
| CNET article) http://izea.com/ and its worth keeping in mind when you see a
| person praising a product.  What are their motives for doing so?
