When Guest Posts go wrong

by psionmark on November 23, 2007

If you’d like a perfect example of why should think long and hard before leaving your blog in the hands of Guest Writers, take a look at the storm created over on TechCrunch when one such post by Dan Ackerman Greenberg apparently made it onto the very popular (one of my regular daily reads) tech blog without first being checked over by the blog owner.

Michael’s obviously keeping an eye on his blog whilst away, but not closely enough. His response was “I will post a longer response to this later, but frankly I’m disgusted by this.”

Come on, do you really think that Arrington doesn’t know what goes on on his own blog? This post is the perfect example of a viral strategy.

:D

LOL! You could well be right :)

If so, it’s worked!
