Get Me On The Bribe List ASAP

Over at Thudfactor, James has talking about how companies are willing to give things away to bloggers who mention them or review them in their blogs.

I don’t mean those payperpost folks that give you some piddling fee to misrepresent yourself and tell everyone you’ve used a product or a website and highly endorse it, heck, you’ll bet your first born’s life on it… (Yes, I checked it out. It made me feel dirty and slimy. I never did see where anyone got anything for free to try when the product cost money to buy and the payment never would have covered the cost of the product. Most of the stuff were things I wouldn’t have used.)

No, James is actually getting some free tea, that he actually likes just for talking about said tea by Adagio. He also mentioned that Microsoft is apparently giving away laptops to bloggers reviewing their new OS Vista. *Hmphf* How do I get on that list?

Anyway, he calls it bribery. He’s for it. So am I. Put me on the list. I’m bribeable. Free Stuff. Reviews. Yup.

   Isn’t that you or has my brain done a faulty name application again. I called one of my previous neighbors Emma for a year…Gail was very nice about it though.

   It’s been known to happen. Actually, my name is “John.” Which I think is only slightly more dull.

   Doh! At least they start with the same letter. *looks sheepish*
