Marketers have a responsibility to ensure that bloggers are providing disclosure and that statements are not misleading or unsubstantiated.

Again with the blogging, make sure your blogger or bloggers want to do it, if they are forced into it, you won’t get your posts on time. You don’t need to know the what, just the who and when. If you have a Twitter account, set up a CoTweet account to help manage interactions, and define who is responsible for interaction.
