I think this might be quite a significant moment in that a few of us, including some of the previous commenters, have been wondering for some time why it is felt social media should attract a higher level of scrutiny or be deemed to require a higher degree of transparency than other forms of PR/ communications? If the social media debate forces people to think more clearly about PR as a persuasive discipline and to engage with all that that implies, so much the better.

I agree: principles should be universal. It's practice that needs to change.

I spotted one devil in the detail: the suggestion that deep linking should be outlawed because some websites discourage it. I thought this battle had been fought and lost years ago - otherwise how come Google (the ultimate exploiter of deep linking) is still in business.
