I agree with BL Ochman when she said, in an email, “This is the kind of thing that renews my faith in creativity and the human spirit in general.”

Here’s a short clip of today’s My ooVoo Day with Bob Garfield that I grabbed for a few seconds using my Nokia n95 8GB — it is a little choppy on video because I have too much crap loaded on the phone. So, here’s a little bit of what you missed so please check it out. Even in the few second here, Bob Garfield is witty, smart, insightful, and brilliant! Anyway, you could have very well been part of this love and repartee.

Bob Garfield on My ooVoo Day, originally uploaded by Chris Abraham.

I got to host On the Media‘s Bob Garfield and represent crayon LLC and ooVoo today during My ooVoo Day today at the offices of MSHC Partners thanks to the kindness and generosity of Michael Bassik. The entire day went swimmingly and many a fine feathered friend ooVoo’d in to say hello and to participate. Very cool. You’ll see my cute-as-sin x61 ThinkPad with my cool wee notebook webcam by CREATIVE. Note the Caribou Coffee cup — there are still alternatives to Starbucks in this town, Washington, DC.

PinExt Bloggers Need to Hold Themselves to Ethical Standards

People ask me what I think about “full disclosure” and “blogger ethics.” My answer always is, there is no obligation for any blogger to follow the ethical standards of journalists or public officials. Bloggers are bloggers because of the true freedom of speech. Freedom of speech doesn’t demand truth. But, if bloggers want to keep the trust they’ve been given by their readers, then they had better be open, honest, authentic, and transparent.

That said, the trust relationship bloggers have built and enjoy with their readers is quite a powerful feedback. That relationship is the market force that keeps bloggers honest, not ethical standards or requirements. Ultimately, I demand rigorous reader discernment — caveat lector, let the reader beware — and do not suffer morons gladly.

Here are some previous articles that I have written about the topic:
