Commercial Blog on a Community Site?
Does anyone else find it distasteful, annoying, and unfair that Visual WebGui consistently uses its community blog on weblogs.asp.net for commercial purposes?
It’s one thing to bring new, innovative products to the community’s attention – I do that myself occasionally. But, Visual WebGui repeatedly uses its blog to post promotional material such as news releases, white papers, and endorsements.
If Visual WebGui can advertise for free in blog posts, what about Telerik, ComponentArt, Infragistics, Intersoft Solutions?
To me, Visual WebGui should be removed from the main feed if it can’t separate its community content from its commercial interests.
