Do you disclose?

@ImeldaMatt lets us know through Twitter that the Federal Trade Commission in the US is thinking about new guidelines to regulate in post advertising and whether bloggers are required to disclose if they are compensated. If you blog in the US (or if you don’t) this article is defiantly worth a read.

When lack of courtesy can cost

This is a personal beef of mine. I hate the fact that what should be common courtesy is so uncommon these days. The article in the Sydney Morning Herald by Valerie Khoo is about small and medium businesses, but I think it applies to bloggers and blogging (actually any area of life) equally well. And on a personal note, I too have been brushed off by a car dealer in exactly the same appalling way as Ms Khoo. I took my business elsewhere as well.

Jelly shoes for the beach are suddenly cool!

I personally hate thongs (you may call them flip-flops) to wear to the beach or pool. They just look so, ick. They may be practical, but I just can’t bring myself to wear them. Zodee however are now selling some seriously cute jelly shoes that look just perfect. Absolutely the wrong time of year for this in Australia, but still, I might have to buy some anyway. They’re not cheap, but it’s not like I’ll grow out of them.

Apparantly Diva.net.au are stealing designs

Shanalogic.com reports that Diva.net.au are stealing her (and other artist) designs. Is it true? If so, it is a pretty blatant rip-off. Thanks to Super Kawaii Mama for the tipoff.
