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 Tom or Adrian in our marketing solutions team and we'll tailor a solution that best meets your needs. Tom may be reached at: Thomas.Hammer@corp.aol.com or 917-606-4776.

HBO DVDs up for grabs at TV Squad!

Posted Dec 7th 2006 9:29AM by Martha Fischer

It's Festivus time at TV Squad again, and as part of the celebration they're giving away multiple series of some huge HBO shows. All you have to do for a chance to take home, say, five seasons of Curb Your Enthusiasm (or multiple seasons of Deadwood, The Wire or Entourage), is rewrite any song with TV and/or Festivus-themed lyrics (you know, the Costanza holiday!). How hard can that be? You love TV, you love music, you prizes -- what have you got to lose? Stop surfing the web and get writing!

Submit your best effort in the comments, and stay tuned: The great minds at TV Squad will pick their favorite on December 20th.

WIN (and a Crime Dog) at DigitalLife

Posted Oct 20th 2006 12:01PM by Martha Fischer

For those of us who weren't able to attend last weekend's DigitalLife event -- billed as "The ultimate consumer technology, gaming & entertainment event of the year" -- in New York City, Weblogs, Inc.'s tech blogs had the affair blanketed, and there's coverage galore across the network. Engadget and young son EdgadgetHD were there, along with The Wireless Report and Joystiq. Needless to say, they all covered the show from different angles, so go check them out and see what glorious games and gadgets are on the horizon. (Plus, maybe you can figure out what the heck McGruff was doing there.)

Twitching with Wii anticipation? Engadget and Joystiq have you covered.

If you're one of the legions of gamers with the Nintendo Wii release date -- November 19, for those of you criminally out of touch with the gaming world -- circled in red on your calendar, Joystiq and Engadget's coverage of the console should at least give you a fix as you wait out the next five weeks. Most recently, Engadget scored not only a price list for Wii and accessories (including notes of markup margin, so you know exactly how much retailers are taking from you), but also a slew of spyshots featuring things like dog tags and controller gloves.

To catch up on all the Wii details you've missed, check out Joystiq's and Engadget's past coverage and, oh yeah, WIN's dedicated Wii site, where you can discuss Wii minutia with others who share your obsession.

Autoblog, live from the Paris Motor Show

Posted Oct 2nd 2006 1:03PM by Martha Fischer

Not to be outdone by the globetrotting Joystiq team, the Autoblog folks decided to take an international trip of their own and headed to Paris for the city's annual Auto Show. Though they're all back home now, the Autobloggers covered the show extensively, offering photo and text coverage of world premieres, flying vans and unbelievably gorgeous new cars from legendary automakers. Among lots of other things. Over on AutoblogGreen, meanwhile, there's coverage of all the hybrid and environmentally friendly offerings at the show, including this insane-looking space car "electro-solar hybrid vehicle."

Next up for the Autoblog team? The SEMA Show in Vegas over Halloween weekend -- stay tuned for early photos of many more world premieres.

Joystiq at TGS

Posted Sep 30th 2006 12:00PM by Martha Fischer



The incredibly lucky bloggers over at Joystiq just got back from a few, game-filled days at the 2006 installment of the annual Tokyo Game Show. And, thanks to their hard work, the rest of us can pretend we were there (without the waiting in line). In addition to copious text and photo reports on upcoming games, they also posted tons of embedded video offering detailed looks at the show's big debuts. Though most of your gamers (quite reasonably) probably hang on Joystiq's every word, those of you who missed the reports can find them all collected here.

Weblogs goes mobile

Posted Sep 28th 2006 9:03AM by Martha Fischer

Looking at Cinematical on your Blackberry giving your scrolling thumb cramps? Well, friends, your suffering is at an end: just point that mobile browser to the normal address and -- Wah-la! -- the fancy new site detects a mobile device and redirects you to a content-rich, small-screen friendly version of your favorite tech blog!* (If it doesn't autodetect -- Sidekick users, this means you -- simply type "m.cinematical.com" into your address line, and you're good to go.)

Also included in the first round of mobile roll-outs are Engadget, Download Squad, Engadget Mobile, EngadgetHD, Joystiq, TUAW and TV Squad, with more to come in the future.

*Keep in mind that the mobile version are in beta, so there may still be a few kinks in the system. If a page doesn't work the way it should, it will eventually. We promise.

TV Squad launches weekly vodcast

Posted Sep 26th 2006 1:06PM by Martha Fischer

Like PVR Wire did earlier this month with their podcast, another Weblogs, Inc. site -- TV Squad, to be precise -- introduced a new feature yesterday: their very own video podcast. (And there was much rejoicing.)

Entitled Previously on TV Squad, the feature is a short, blogger-hosted, weekly program recapping the big stories in the world of TV for the past seven days. (This week, Steve-O of Jackass "fame" did the TV Squad folks a favor by urinating on a red carpet, thus giving them a killer opening story.) Take a look, let them know what you think, and stop by next Monday for installment the second.
