Sorry for cross posting, I always try to watch everyone else and make sure I'm not posting what's been posted at similar sites. Heh, we must have been writing this review at the same time.

OK... Reviews are great, getting paid for them... greater, but doesn't this encroach on the validity of the blogosphere? Someone will complain that a disclaimer had to be made or the disclaimer will find its way into the ".invisible" class and I can see the entire thing getting tainted quick. Thats one of the key defining points for Blogs is that they are by definition, fiercely independent. But don't listen to me, I fear change. Not sure I am sold on the idea.

It's a good point. I am trialling it at the moment to see how it goes. I think that the fact that it is in the blogosphere coupled with the fact that you don't have to review a product positively means that honest reviews will come out of it at the end of the day. A disclosure has to be made clearly on every post as far as I'm aware. Mike. It’s a good point. I am trialling it at the moment to see how it goes.

I personally haven't made up my mind on how I feel about it yet and think I'll wait a month or too before really judging it, so people can give an educated opinion at how well it works. Btw: unrelated to the post but, I was reading AJ's first comment and saw it as "Sorry for cross posting, I always November 10th 2006 try to [...]" - it might be worth giving more visual distinction between the comment and info? Just a thought ;) I blogged about ReviewMe recently too - it’s interesting to see the hugely differing opinions on the subject.
