I just used the Seagate competitor as one example. There are a variety of scenarios where you might blog or converse with a spectrum of conflict involved, including financial and non-financial gain/loss. In fact, the Disclosure Policy at your blog is a great one-stop place for readers to learn about your conflicts and disclosure practices across a variety of services. Imagine including in your DP how you intend to disclose on your blog, comments elsewhere, Twitter, FriendFeed and others with less real estate involved — the emergence of such a cross-service standard would move the whole transparency topic into the post-blog era.

I care less about what your specific policy is — that’s a personal decision. I do, however, believe that posting a DP and linking from every page with anchor text “Disclosure Policy” will help users — and possibly encourage other social media early adopters to do the same.

Therefore, my follow-up question is: Did you intend your comment above “I plan to disclose every bias I have.” to be your Disclosure Policy or do you plan to create a specific Disclosure Policy page, linking it from your footer or sidebars? My suggestion was the latter…

Given your integration of blogs, twitter, friendfeed and the like in this redesign; I’d love to highlight your Disclosure Policy as one example of how to increase transparency across services.

Interesting to see that no pages are hosted locally except “archives” !

Also loved the way you’ve linked “About Me” linking to Wikipedia only that the wikipedia page needs to be updated (It doesn’t say that you are currently working in FastCompany )
