I just wrote a post about the influence of corporations on parenting blogs at Information Wants to be Free. Adam and I are seriously thinking about starting to write reviews here of the toys and products that we buy for Reed in an effort to increase the number of trustworthy, uncompensated reviews of baby products on the Web. It makes me sick to think that new or expectant parents might trust the reviews written by the parents who write reviews because they are compensated by the company whose product they’re reviewing. It’s hard enough to make good choices for your child without this “blogola” going on.
