We are fourth year students taking up Integrated Marketing Communication. This blog is a project for our class in communication ethics, and it contains posts and discussions regarding the trend of Problogging and advertising in blogs.
With the dramatic increase in the number of bloggers, blogs have a become a common topic for discussion. This blog, however, zeroes in on blog advertising – what it is, its potential as a profession and ethical issues involved. It aims to discover the thoughts of bloggers and blog reader by posting articles and polls that stimulate intellectual discussion through votes and comments. The ultimate goal of the website is to encourage ethical practices in professional blogging as well as critical thinking among blog readers.

i hate pop ups. they are lke flies that come to you when you least expect them to. banner ads are ok. sometimes i can even relate to them. product reviews are all right too. as long as you check out many to see the biases or inconsistency.

Pop ups are annoying! I block them cause they are so distracting. Banner ads are okay. They're so easy to ignore that they are almost invisible. Well, to me at least. Never clicked one so I obviously haven't bought from them. Product reviews are helpful. I usually check them out when I'm planning to buys something say a book or anything electronic.

I block pop ups. Some banner ads can actually be interesting. I find it intriguing how the ones I see in my sites (Multiply & Friendster) cater to my interest. Product reviews are fine. I treat them as second opinion to a product.

great, it seems that we people share the same likes and dislikes. Yup, pop ups are just so annoying. the others are ok because they are no intrusive.

i prefer ads that are engaging, like ads that have games or styles where you get to see who the product works....

i also hate pop ups..grrr... i like product reviews because i can see both the strong and weak points of a certain product (as if they show the negative features) but honestly speaking, i don't buy on the internet because i'm afraid of the consequences that might happen..

I do prefer product reviews over the rest, but honestly i prefer going to stores and malls and checking out the product myself or on tv ads. I like seeing the product in person rather than from reviews. But I do treat reviews as one source of knowledge about the brand or the product.
