Wired.com says the guidelines only apply to amateurs. They only make sense if everyone has to disclose any benefit they have gained from recommending/endorsing/plugging a product.

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 05:25:11 +0000 http://storageio.com/blog/?p=694#comment-1292 [...] Disclosure: I have no connection to Huawei. I own no stock in, nor have I worked for Brocade as an employee; however I did work for three years at SAN vendor INRANGE which was acquired by CNT. However I left to become an industry analyst prior to the acquisition by McData and well before Brocade bought McData. Brocade is not a current client; however I have done speaking events pertaining to general industry trends and perspectives at various Brocade customer events for them in the past.

Currently lots of people are just promoting products without knowing what they are on their blog, hoping to earn quick money. The product might be something that doesnt even work. With the new guidelines, at least we know that the person is doing it for money, and chances are we will be more skeptical about the product unless the person is someone trusted.
