New Disclosure & Transparency Code for Social Media
Social media pioneers have long advocated honesty, disclosure, bacchanalianility, transparency and authenticity.
- First there were CMP.ly codes for standard disclosures.
- Then WOMMA came out with its disclosure guideand hashtags like #spon, #paid, #samp.
Today the world’s most widely read blog that is called WillVideoForFood announced a new short URL you bloggers, social-media whores and YouTube stars can use conveniently… It’s as follows: http://bit.ly/TransparentWhore
- Sellout? Yeah I sellded owt beeatch so what ya gonna do?
I probably ought to have come up with that code in June 2007 when I made this video featuring the fictional “CashToBuzz,” inspired by appauling businesses that would pay bloggers to review companies and products favorably. And yes, we were really chased out of a mall.
Just remember kids… it’s only pimping if I’m not in on the deal. And it’s only wrong when you pimp opaquely. Or forget your bacchanalianility.
“bacchanalianility”?
Bacchanality… I have’t heard that word since the aftermath of parties in 1999!
Speaking of nostalgia again… Kevzor, did you give up on cubebreak.com?
Guess what I find “appauling”…

Seriously, Kevin. Invest in a dictionary.
That’s real viral marketing but they should also be getting people to join cash to buzz. Some kind of pyramid scheme you know. Where they get a small percentage of their recruit’s earnings.
