The Ethics of Twitter

Barbara at Seattle Wine Gal has an interesting post on the ethics of tweeting about wine received gratis from a producer. From the post:

Is there a way of doing Social Media Marketing to it’s fullest extent without giving free products in exchange for online recognition? Is this ethical? Am I being bribed, or simply offered a great chance to taste wine and let other know what I think?

She asks some excellent questions, and questions that have become important to people who blog about wine. I don't have any answers, but I encourage you all to check out her comments and weigh in.
