Webb Alert Scandal?
2007-08-05 15:25:00
It appears that Morgan Webb s latest video blog that we reported on the other day is creating a controversy regarding it’s ties to advertising agency Federated Media. Allen Stern over at Center Networks seems to have some conspiracy theories regarding Webb Alert s lack of disclosure regarding their relationship with FM and a number of other FM blogs writing shining reviews. I am not sure there is actually anything happening here. Even if what Stern say’s is true, it’s certainly not as bad as the undisclosed paid per post blogs that are infecting the blogging community. FM is after all an advertising agency. Personally it does not bother me. I still recommend dropping by and checking out the show. Share This
