I watched the whole video, and we\'ll get to that point in a minute, but I didn\'t hear you advocating that their company was better than any of their competitors.  Was the video biased somehow?  Not that I could tell.  Now about making me sit through that long podcast.  That in itself was a feat.  I have no interest at all about that level of geek, but I was interested after a few minutes about the inside of a corporation.  Yeah I still don\'t know the difference between chip leakage and diaper leakage, but Intel has been splattered all over the blogosphere in every geek filled room and anyone with a computer run by their flux capaciter or whatever it is.

You claim that Intel didn\'t have veto, the video was unscripted and unedited, but do you *HONESTLY* believe that your great scoop was simply luck? Knowing that you were indirectly on the Intel payroll (via Podtech), knowing that you were indirectly paid to do the video....Intel fed you that scoop because they wanted to use YOU as a conduit for the dissemination of the information. You were used, plain and simple. Don\'t for one minute think otherwise, Intel is a huge organisation with a massive PR/ Marketing Department. They could have used anyone to break that story, the chose you, it was intentional...indeed at a guess I\'d suggest that they were trying to utilise you in a Web 2.0/ video play, after all, what better way to control the information than to feed it in this way. Unfortunately as a consequence your protests about the lack of links sound like you doing Intels bidding, after all, Intel would have had an expectation that your video would have been the point/ reference for this information, not the NY Times. You can protest all you want about editorial integrity, end of the day Intel still used you, and I\'m sure your not so naive as to not see that.</div>\

I\'ve been a feed reader of your for quite a long long time and I\'ve never seen you get like this. Here\'s my advice, leave all of your gadgets at home (maybe even your cell phone) get on a plane and find some place to wiggle your toes in the sand. Before you get back, get on the phone and order your self a nice 30" monitor from Dell (I just got one) and get some nice 2560x1600 rez beach photos to use as wallpaper. You can even bring your camera and then take them yourself.<br><br>You seem to have lost touch with why everyone enjoys reading you, it\'s the excitement that you have about technology, the bickering is best left for the old unhappy people of the Nytimes and WSJ. Get back to your roots man. Maybe reinvent yourself or something.</div>\

I put in the write up a disclosure to that effect on all GM pieces I prodcued from the show.  Was what I wrote enough?  They didn\'t pay me any money, just provided transportation, rooms and meals.  They were impressed enough with the GM podcasts to invite me back to the Chicago show. I take them up on their offer so I can get that access to GM execs, but also be able to do podcasts on other companies while there, and to then pass them on to my audience.  I hope for feedback and then pass it on to those with whom I\'ve established a realtionship with to help get an answer.</div>\

If you are covering a sponsor, you disclose. It\'s not a topic for argument. If you don\'t disclose, you\'re breaking trust with the reader.<br><br>If you\'re maintaining that you were not obliged to disclose, then you are not a journalist, nor are you "journalistic" in any real sense. The wall between news and ads is one of the things that makes journalism what it is, when it\'s at its best.<br><br>If you\'re kicking back against people\'s apparent demands that you disclose, that\'s cool. I disagree with Shel about what makes a blogger "ethical." I think anyone can do any f/cking thing they want on their blog. (Or podcast.) But each action has an equal and opposite reaction. You can\'t claim exemption from disclosure and then insist you be taken seriously as a credible source for information.</div>\

So, I gotta believe GM expected some "pro" coverage for their investment.  Are Road and Track, Car and Driver, Automobile reporters and editors compensated by automakers in the way of airfare, hotel and meals for coverage of the auto shows?  I think not, but I could be wrong.  It all depends on how impartial you want to be perceived. If you want to be used as an extension of the marketing arm of GM, that\'s fine. The viewer should know there is the potential of partiality in your coverage.</div>\

That\'s paid-for advertising and it shows.<br><br>I like the ScobleShow cos it\'s goofy.  You get unedited views of companies, which gives you far more insight into the company than some slickly edited advertisement.  That\'s the appeal of Scoble, at Microsoft, and now at Podtech.  Your goofiness lends credibility to your videos.<br><br>As to the length, I think on the whole you get it about right.

OK, so we now know who pays, and learn slowly that everybody pays for their own promotion. Like somebody genuinely did not believe that that wasn\'t the case from the vey beginning? ... I mean, whoever\'s doing it, we would get exactly the same output, crafted for us to get it. And Scobble is already doing it. I agree the change of style would be refreshing, but I\'m more for maintaining the disinformation flow uninterrupted, for my own paranoid amusement. So nothing really changes for me...</div>\
