Vicki A. Davis asks, "Could bloggers you know be selling out on the sly?" the answer, of course, is probably yes (but, just for the record, not on this blog). "This raises a huge question and thus the point for my pontificating openly. If I'm getting these solicitations you can bet the ruler in your desk drawer that other educational bloggers are getting them too!" Yup. Davis calls for a code of conduct - but again, as I've said in the past, the code isn't needed by the people who would follow it, and is simply evaded by those who don't. There is no real solution but to be attentive. And don't gang up on the blogger who identifies the corporate link - this has happened to me in the past and wasn't very nice.
