Describing the personalized nature of Kanye West's blog, Bryan Calhoun, VP of new media and external affairs at Sound Exchange, speaking at this year's MIDEM conference, praised the blog by calling it "totally authentic" while adding "You can't pay to put things on there...people have tried." He didn't name names, but clearly the implication is that many in the blogosphere are paid-off shills who are product and/or record company lackeys.
Surprise, surprise.
