"But the tiny company [FON] also got publicity from another source:
 influential commentators on the Internet who write blogs -- including
 some who may be compensated in the future for advising FON about its

 to the four-month-old company, highlights the rising influence of
 blogs in shaping opinions about tech start-ups, particularly in
 Silicon Valley. It also reveals the possible conflicts of interest
 such complicated relationships can dredge up."
