so at least you knew there would be someone around here who would spout off about this.
If people want to turn their videoblogs into viral marketing schemes, then rock on.
There's plenty of blogspot.com spaces just ready to be filled with it. Heck some use their
vlogs to hype the products they create themselves-- marketing themselves and their
product in the happy blanket of Independent Media, Community, and Videoblogging. It's
just how the world works, and you should never trust the media... no matter how small it
is.
We see this all the time in the blogging world-- transparent advertising through content--
and of course it's gonna be a part of the videoblogging world.
