Blogger Joseph Thornley offers a humorous report from the front lines of the mesh conference in Canada where TechCrunch editor Michael Arrington butted heads with PayPerPost CEO Ted Murphy.
Thornley writes, *“Ted Murphy of Pay Per Post is attending mesh. He tried to ask Arrington a question. ‘How’d he get in here?’ replied Arrington, who then proceeded to tell the crowd how he feels about Pay Per Post. Pointing to Murphy, Arrington said, ‘he’s the most evil person in this room.’” *
It's true that paying bloggers to blog about products and services without the posts being clearly labeled as ads isn't what most bloggers consider "the right thing to do." But "evil"? That might be a little strong.
