Considering the FTC is now mandating that I reveal all payments/presents that I receive from the companies I cover in the blog (or on Facebook and Twitter for that matter) I feel it is my job to disclose all the favors I’ve accepted over the past few months…
Now that I’ve exposed all my secret financiers I would like to extend an invitation to a few companies I would be comfortable blogging positively about if only they would give me some financial support or a really cool gadget.
In the phone space I am already a mostly content customer of Verizon but I would blog glowingly about the new Android phones they are planning on releasing in a few weeks if only they would send me one to test out!
While I’ve typed most of my blog entries on a dell laptop it is more of a utilitarian device than a sexy/fun product like a Macbook Air or Dell Adamo either of which I would be more than happy to shill for on future posts.
I have posted previously posted glowing reviews about the XBOX 360/Netflix relationship and would not mind compensation even it that means reposting those thoughts with a new disclaimer stating how much money I made retroactively.
If Damon or Carlton would like to compensate me for my positive thoughts on Lost (past, present, and/or future) I would be more than happy to accept and divulge that I was paid.
I’m still processing what my next personal media device should be. The choice is between an IPOD Touch which I currently own (but my head phone jack is screwy so I need to replace it) or a Zune HD. If either Apple or Microsoft would like to send me player I would be more than happy to review it and inform my reading public that I was sent it as a gift.
