Then I see this little gem<\/a>. Seriously…please go look at it before reading further.<\/p>\nEven in the comments people are chiding Joel a bit for it being an advertisement. So Joel does have a disclosure in there saying that TurnHere is owned by Inman.<\/p>\n
Then I went to WHOIS and found out that this blog Future Of Real Estate Marketing is OWNED BY INMAN. <\/p>\n
Anyone want to tell me that this blatant self promo was NOT an advertisement? I really am willing to listen if someone wants to make that case. <\/p>\n
Joel, you said that how this came off was 100% your bad. Ummm, can you argue that you have 100% editorial control when it isn’t your site? Methinks not. Since the site is owned by Brad Inman, my request is to him. Please tone down the advertorial content. Also, a more complete disclosure as to who owns the site would be far more transparent. If this was totally Joel’s bad as he says in the comments, perhaps some editorial control (on a site you OWN) is in order, but I really don’t think that was the case here.<\/p>\n
I hope I am wrong.<\/p>\n
Responsibility for content lies with the owner of the domain.<\/p>\n
