Every time I link to an article that I am mentioned in, thank goodness, Jeremy Pepper is there to leave a comment on my blog calling for me to be more transparent.
Take Saturday, for example. I linked to an AP story on corporate blogging in which I was quoted. Here's another with a bit more on his perspective. Jeremy, first, thanks, sincerely. It's a debate worth taking up. So, let's get it on. :->
Here's my two cents: if the article subject focuses on me, my company or my clients, I will say so in the post and file it under "Shamless Promotion." Otherwise it's fair game. In this case, I was quoted as a source. And anyone who clicks on the link will see that clearly. Bad Steve for linking to an AP story on corporate blogging. Bad Steve.
