        <content>This is delicate.  Ads are ok, if they are acknowledged as ads.  I don't like PPP because shilling a personal recommendation for money is immoral (my mom always called it whoring).

I came out against PPP earlier this week on my blog (finally), and wouldn't have seen this had not a reader sent me the link in my comments (thanks Yan).  I have to say the comments herein are just as scary to me as the fact that PPP exists.
 
CreamAid doesn't sound like they are spammers with the email quoted above.  That's ridiculous (and when did it become ok to air emails w/o permission?).  And, they had issues earlier with pay so we ridicule them publicly and take away any possibility they have at success by slamming them cruelly?

You may not agree with them (I don't), and if you don't I hope you speak up.  However, with cheapshots that they can't live down (pay and spam), you are hitting below the belt guys.

Real criticism, like ethical considerations and the silly name, make sense.  But the other is just plain unfair.  How might you feel if your business was spotlighted on a blog like TechCrunch and underwent this treatment?  I think we forget (or are too young to yet realize) what it's like to start out in business.  

**Shame on you if you resorted to this technique in your search for visitors to your own site. **

Oh, and by they way, I also write for Know More Media, allbusiness.com and b5 and the idiotic statement that paying someone to blog is wrong is bizarre.  How many networks are there that pay their bloggers?  I'm stunned.  Do you not think that the bloggers **on the TechCrunch network** are not getting paid for their work?  Noone has time to invest in a topic this fully and cover the news this thoroughly unless they are getting paid to do so.  

Grow up.</content>

        <content>Fascinating.  I just recorded a podcast and included this in it.  It'll be up in a few hours on my blog.  Just wanted to let you know that you meant OPML not OPLM.

OPML stands for outline markup processing language.  It's what a traditional blogroll utilizes for display and that's what's so exciting about this idea.  The fact you can take your podcast 'roll' and include it on your blog means you are pointing out great podcasts, that by virtue of their relevance to you, are relevant to your readers.  

It's been a struggle to do so know w/o having to manually update the podroll as your tastes changed or as podcasts disappeared.  Now, as you unsubscribe the podcasts go away.  This is really, really great!</content>
