Bad Sector in Memory [en]

[fr] Je recherche un billet sur lequel je n'arrive plus à mettre la main, qui disait (ou en tout cas me faisait penser) que le blogueur-consultant qui fait du "consulting gratuit" sur son blog par moment (critiquant tel ou tel service) est en fait en train d'encourager ses clients potentiels à lui donner un mandat avant qu'il ne l'ouvre en public (enfin, si son blog est assez connu), puisque son feedback sera ainsi traité en interne.

Quelqu'un voit lequel c'est?

Maybe you can help me. I read this recently but unfortunately did not file it in either my [shared reading items](http://www.google.com/reader/shared/09081754150283874260) or my [del.icio.us links](http://del.icio.us/steph). It was a piece, written by a blogger who is also a consultant (I thought it was [Euan](http://theobvious.typepad.com/blog/) or [Stowe](http://stoweboyd.com/message/), but I can’t find the post on either of their blogs)), which basically said that one possible (perverted?) effect of giving “free consulting” on one’s blog (like I’ve done a [couple](http://climbtothestars.org/archives/2006/02/26/femina-une-promesse-de-blog/) of [times](http://climbtothestars.org/archives/2006/11/12/blogs-et-politique-ca-bouge/)) is that if your profile as a blogger is high enough, it could be an incentive for prospective clients to bring you in before you start blogging about their flaws/faults in public.

This was based on the realisation that as a blogger/consultant, one tends to not be so public about stuff the client has to improve, as the input goes to them internally and gets treated there. I’ve clearly noticed that [since I’ve been working for coComment](http://climbtothestars.org/archives/2006/04/13/im-working-for-cocomment/).

So, can anybody tell me where I read this? What is my source?
