I can tell you that I, as a blogger, receive a lot of product sample offers just for that purpose. The honest blogger will give their opinion, positive or negative. But my point is that I don't know if you can always trust corporate sponsored viral marketing any more than you can trust slick advertising. And why not talk about iPhone on a food blog? There are some great food apps for the iPhone :) I agree that there’s a ton of viral marketing. I can tell you that I, as a blogger, receive a lot of product sample offers just for that purpose.

I think from a marketing view Apple appreciates that and in this modern world I believe some people call that "viral Marketing". Why am I talking about an iPhone on a food blog? If I ,or friends of mine, eat at a good restaurant we share the experience with others by word of mouth. We talk about our great experience and spread the news. This to me is also viral marketing. I guess what I am trying to say is that if there is good food well prepared people wil find out about it without slick advertising. Maybe the slicker the advertising the worse the food. Isn't that food for thought? I remember being a a party once showing off some new apps on my iPhone.
