Or so some of the hysteria on twitter would have you believe.
Long story short (and jeez does Chris make short stories LONG) Chris Brogan is an advisory member on some board for pay-for-post mob Izea . Izea want to run a campaign for K-Mart to get bloggers blogging about the K-Mart shopping experience, so they hook up Chris as one of the guinea pigs.
Chris does the business and also hands over the ill gotten booty to Toys for Tots, all thoroughly disclosed on his blog. One would think and open-and-shut piece of marketing.
But NO!
Because Chris writes such long blog posts with such big words, the Twitterscreamers are left floundering at line 3 and make up their own minds. Chris brogan is a pay-for-poster, the lowest of the low.
