    Thanks for the honest conversation about this timely issue. Integrity in marketing seems to have become an issue that is not so much about "all-or-nothing" but instead one of degrees and extents. To be most effective in communicating a message or good information or solving a problem, I think we need to provide full disclosure and be as objective as possible (or at least be upfront about our biases). Wouldn't that be the best way to help consumers make informed decisions which is the reason they are probably going to the internet to begin with? I think we can be entertaining without being deceptive. Since you both agree, too, that there is a lower b.s. factor in social media and internet news, maybe social media marketers should be the ones to set the standard for not mucking that up any further by engaging in disingenuous marketing practices. Agree?

    Unfortunately a lot of marketers still don't believe that it's in a consumers best interest to be informed to the fullest as you suggest. Why? Because they're selling inferior or crappy products/services. It's hard to market crap in a box.
