Blogging for Buzz?

Mr. Dash has a post today about getting offered some cool products in hopes of them getting mentioned on his world-class highly read blog. His attitude, which I think is a wise one: There’s nothing wrong with commerce as long as the shillee understands the medium of the shiller. Blogs are a one-person op-ed page and I don’t know a single blogger who isn’t a witch’s cauldron of opinions waiting to spill. So fine. Offer us whatever you want. Just be prepared to have it labeled as garbage if it stinks.

And on that note, I’d like to say to all the marketers out there, Where’s There’s Smoke is taking bids. We’re particularly fond of anything radio-controlled, bendable, or festooned with propellers.
