There has been some news recently on how the FTC (Federal Trade Commision) wants to crack down on undisclosed “sponsored” blogging.  The problem is that some companies pay bloggers to push their product or point of view, without disclosure.  This corrodes the trust that the public has in bloggers in general.  Since products, companies, and web sites are often mentioned and reviewed in the ClariSonus blog, I want to clarify the position of ClariSonus regarding sponsors and independence:

The www.clarisonus.com/blog site is supported personally by John Atwood, and accepts no advertising, sponsorship, or any other financial support.  In the future, if needed, individual donations may be accepted (such a through PayPal), but there will be no strings attached.

Product reviews are done solely one the basis of the point of view of the reviewer and are not done in conjunction with or even with the knowledge of the company or product reviewed. Companies are free to comment on a review, but any commenters that are found to have an undisclosed sponsorship related to what they are posting will have their comments removed.

Authors of ClariSonus posts may have financial interests in products or organizations mentioned in their posts. These interests must be disclosed, either in their introductory biography or in the post itself.  Authors for ClariSonus are chosen for their independence and integrity to avoid conflicts of interest.

The Privacy & Legal page on this site has been updated to reflect this policy.  This is not a change in policy but rather a clarification of what we have always done.  As a reminder of my own financial interests, I get royalty payments from Artemis Labs for the designs I’ve done for them and get royalty payments from Antique Electronic Supply for the One Electron line of transformers and chokes sold there.  I do occasional consulting jobs in the consumer and pro-audio business, and these jobs will be mentioned if relevant to an article or review.

You may have wondered about the lack of blog activity for the last few months.  Nothing is wrong here, other than a heavy case of writer’s block and procrastination (the latter an Atwood family tradition). I’ve been working on projects around the house and have been busy digesting a huge pile of distressed electronic parts and equipment picked up at an estate sale.  Two other recent acquisitions include an old lathe and milling machine, so I hope to soon start building some mechanical parts - mainly for my electronic projects.  In any case, I hope to resume activity on the blog.

Over the last two months, I’ve noticed an increasing number of new user ids being created on the Clarisonus blog.  These all seem to have spam-like names and many come from Russia.  The only reason to create a user id on the blog is to be able to post a comment.  Since there have been few comments recently, the new user ids seem suspect.  To keep the blog database from getting clogged-up, I’ve deleted any suspicious-looking user ids.  If I have inadvertently erased your legitimate id, I apologize, but all you have to do is recreate it if you want to post a comment.
