I got asked by a company who I do reviews for if I could recommend any fellow bloggers who would like to do the same thing. But like you say how do you know who would want to do similar reviews? I mean most bloggers have an email on their blog so I say let them do the leg work. But at first I did feel like maybe I was been mean not passing on a good opportunity, but as the saying goes ‘dont shoot the messanger’ – as it is usually the messanger that get shot!

Thank you for this post. My mind is never quite as shrewd and thoughtful as I'd like it to be when it comes to the business side of blogging and these posts are so super helpful and I try to navigate the tricky terrain of blogger ethics. .-= Jenny´s last blog ..290.

This is the first I’ve heard! So it’s never happened to me (I am now watching my inbox through squinty eyes).

I would never give out contacts of fellow bloggers and I’d be really shocked to be asked! I’m even wondering if I’m understanding this correctly because it seems so stupid!

I always get the pass it along thing, I never took it to heart to think that someone would be using me. If there’s an opportunity that appears to present itself, I would never think twice about passing it on to someone. But I will never give away someone’s information, if they wanted you to have it, it would be accessible. Know what I mean?

I was put in a situation where integrity was questioned though. I happened to be on a mailing list with a lot of celebrities shall we say. I had so much intent on using those emails for my own personal use. It was so available although it took me a while to figure out who’s email was who because it wasn’t like Rihannafenton@gmail.com but a little google search and I was amazed.

I kind of felt as if it was the person’s fault who sent it. What happened to BCC?!?? I’m pretty sure that there were others who decided to take the emails, against the individuals will.

*Jennine you should definitely do a piece about blogger ethics. Being exposed to things/information you probably shouldn’t and how to be professional in that case. Or maybe I’ll do it and you can feature me in the weekly newsletter lmfao.

this happens to me quite a bit, and I feel that the intentions and end result are not beneficial to me in any way. I love helping people out, and I will be the first to go out of my way for somebody, HOWEVER after seeing the way that what they want versus what they actually send out gets twisted, I have to say that it's better to just avoid the entire situation, and not give out the info. .-= julia´s last blog ..How I Survived the 2010 New York Fashion Week =-.
