Regarding "advertising" - when is mentioning or even recommending a company or brand name or product advertising?
For example, a quick search throws up
eBay - 991 threads
Amazon.com - 91 threads (and thats excluding any that just mention Amazon or .co.uk)
Microsoft - 1759 threads
Transair - 668 threads.
So, when does mentioning a company constitute advertising?
What is the position if I say "lets meet at the Dog and Duck on Tuesday, they are having a music evening"? Is that advertising?
Is it advertising if I just say "lets meet at the Dog and Duck"? What about "I recommend the Dog and Duck as a place to meet for a bash"?
Are we allowed to say that we would like to drink Guiness in the Dog and Duck?
Consistency? All or nothing?
