WIN bloggers are paid to blog as little or as much as they like, are unfiltered, and can shift from blog to blog within the network. Our only requirements are that you be totally honest with your audience and passionate about the subjects you cover. Talk to our editorial team if you're interested!

Samples: Please enter three sample blogs posts in the style of the blog you'd like to join.

Weblogs, Inc. is a blog company run by bloggers for bloggers; as such we're committed to keeping blogging authentic and honest. We want our readers to trust our blogs, so we've committed to the following:

  • There is a clear separation between advertising and editorial on all WIN blogs. Our bloggers are not involved in the advertising process. In fact, our bloggers find out who's advertising on our blogs at the same time as the audience!
  • Bloggers do not receive free products or services from the companies they write about.
  • Bloggers do accept review units (i.e., a new cell phone at Engadget, a video game at Joystiq, or a week-long car loan at Autoblog); however, when they're finished reviewing products, they return these items to the manufacturers. If the manufacturers do not take the items back, we give them to our readers. This is the same editorial policy as the New York Times or Wall Street Journal.
  • Bloggers do not accept "junkets" from vendors. Junkets are free trips that PR firms and the companies they represent provide to journalists in the hopes of getting favorable reviews for their products. Our bloggers routinely get offers of first class tickets and four-star hotels at amazing destinations � we NEVER accept them! If we go to an industry event you can be sure that we've picked up the cost of the tickets and that we suffered in coach in order to maintain our integrity.
  • If we get something wrong, we correct the error immediately.
  • Bloggers are committed to being up front and honest. Their opinions are their own, and if you don't agree with them, feel free to post a comment!

Blogs represent a unique way to reach early adopters who create the word of mouth around your products and services. Our industry leading blogs like Engadget, Autoblog, and Joystiq reach millions of passionate readers a month. Contact our sales team at Platform-A to craft a solution that best meets your needs. Clients can set-up a sales inquiry form or call 1-866-331-9187. For general information about advertising and Platform-A visit www.platform-a.com.

Weblogs, Inc. Verticals

Posted Mar 21st 2006 4:18PM by Judith Meskill

Weblogs, Inc. (WIN), in its fifth month as ''an AOL company'', now has three full-time, Associate Producers: Barb Dybwad, Brad Hill, and Sarah Gilbert - all former WIN lead bloggers who bring a tremendous wealth of talent to the Weblogs team. This team is focused on supporting our bloggers in all things connected with blogs and blogging here at WIN.

This support includes everything from launching new blogs and contracting new bloggers to ensuring that bloggers are: properly welcomed; fully enabled in their daily utilization of our blog post authoring system; and compensated, in a timely manner, for their posts. There are many moving parts involved in keeping this organization - of over 80 blogs and 170 freelance bloggers - running smoothly. Barb, Brad, and Sarah are dedicated to choreographing communications and support for our bloggers, our readers, and our various cohorts in the Blogosphere, at AOL, and all points beyond.

As our vision continues to unfold here at WIN we want to keep you, our readers, plugged in with a transparent view of the evolution of our organization. We will be making changes, very shortly, to the WIN 'Blog Roll' that appears in the right-hand column of each of our blogs. These changes will include highlighting the name of the associate producer responsible for each of our vertical group of blogs. There is a full list of these verticals after the jump. Please feel free to contact our associate producers, or any of our WIN staff, at: firstname at weblogsinc dot com. Thanks!

Posted Jan 10th 2006 10:44AM by Judith Meskill

Macworld Keynote

Engadget's Ryan Block set up, and Paul Boutin christened, a "Steve Jobs keynote live from Macworld 2006" post that already has 48 comments -- almost an hour before the Jobs keynote begins!!! Paul Boutin and Peter Rojas are reporting live from the event for Engadget.

TUAW's C.K. Sample also set their chatcast of the Macworld keynote in motion as "TUAW Macworld 06 Keynote Chatcast Extravaganza" with C.K. Sample on the homefront and Laurie A. Duncan, Victor Agreda, and Scott McNulty reporting live from Macworld.

They're in my former hometown, San Francisco! <heavy sigh>

Engadget's CES 2006 roundup

Posted Jan 7th 2006 11:44PM by Judith Meskill


Engadget editor Ryan Block pulls together an excellent roundup of the live keynote and press event highlights of CES 2006. One of the things that REALLY works here at Weblogs, Inc. is the TEAM blogging concept. And nowhere does this concept shine as brilliantly as it has this last week on all things CES 2006. We team virtually, daily here at Weblogs. It was a real rush for a number of our bloggers, who 'talk' to each other daily - if not hourly - to team together in the physical world. I know i've said this before but - i LOVE our team of bloggers here at Weblogs!

Is your cellphone off?

Posted Nov 3rd 2005 9:16AM by Judith Meskill

packersYou're a camera person, you're at a Green Bay Packer press conference, is your cellphone off? It better be! They're not kidding around -- at their weekly press event yesterday, Packers coach Mike Sherman cancelled the remainder of the event after a camera operator's phone rang during the conference. Brett Favre's weekly press briefing was lost to posterity, and cellphone-toting camera operators everywhere must bear the shame. Next time, if it's you, just pretend you're boarding an aircraft. At the very least, turn off your ringer, mmmkay?
