free marketing...
was working on a presentation I am co-presenting on blogging etc. and came up with the idea of : 'free marketing' ... not free as in price, but free as in freedom to express ideas freely. i.e. the marketing provided by your blogging community etc. just had to write that down, although I am sure I am not the first to coin 'free marketing' in such a way.

I haven't seen it used in the sense of "freedom of expression." I have seen it as low-cost or guerilla marketing.

yes, lots of free marketing references to free as in no cost. i have followed the 'free software' movement for a little while and that's what gave me the idea. some 'free software' is actually only free as in freedom of use etc. this was the reason for the name change to 'open source' etc. anyway, now i am rambling!
