Whether or not sharing too much is a cheap sales tactic is debatable.  However, sharing too much information is unwise and risky.  There are too many unhinged people out there to take such a chance, especially when posting photos of children, babies, or the inside of a host's home.  It's too easy to find personal information about people on the internet.  I would never take such a chance.  I'm also not on Facebook.

If I read something and considered it "too personal"/TMI, I simpy wouldn't read it any more. The blogs (or FB) are not mandatory reading for site users. If it doesn't please you, stop going there. Seems simple to me.

 

I seriously doubt QVC, or the individual bloggers, are orchestrating the contents based on a few comments from people who post on the forum; for one thing, so many forum posters are vehement about stating they don't buy, no longer buy, will never buy again, I'll only ever consider buying again if you do this, this and this to please me, etc, why on earth should QVC pay any attention to their thoughts or wishes?

I find the blogs quite boring now.  When they featured Alberti's decorating, Jill Bauers beach house remodel/decorating, Jane Traecy's New York trips, other hosts travel and homes, Jane Brown and her sister tennis and travels and kitchen remodel, they were interesting to read.  Memories of past holidays, family occasions were interesting.  Not interested in product info from vendors (get that in the presentations).  Receipes are OK occasdionally but not when that is mostly all that is posted.  Seems hosts posted receipes when they had nothing else to write about.

Perhaps they've just not had anything personal to blog about recently?  

 

I don't know.  I rarely if ever read any of the hosts' blogs.

Dan Hughes' wonderful blog posted today shows there was no such order by QVC to stop personal blogs.  It's quite a great read.

I agree with you. However, I just saw at least 10 photos & descriptors of her DIL’s baby shower. I have to admit, I did make a short post. But, if private lives are shared by hosts (with embellishment!), isn’t that a bit one sided?

I don't care about their personal lives.  Too many viewers seem to confuse a host with someone who cares about them.  Very sad.  These folks show up, do their job, and get their paycheck.  That's all.
