I have met Ben Chui personally at the Linkshare Symposium and he is one of the nicest guys in the business. Unlike some other big affiliates he is very humble and friendly.

I like the openness of Ben Chui because to me it shows how confident he is in his success. Why hide anyways? I like his style and I like how he acts. I truly wish him the best. Now that he has a very good picture up, he will be sort of iconic in a way.

Wish I knew more about his partners in his new baby DealsPlus.

I have to agree, Web 2.0 brings transparency so people will expect that more and more. I can personally say that adding a picture to my blog site has increased the number of inquiries and user interaction.

What do you think, should deal sites practice better openness?

A definite YES.

The web is definitely moving towards openness and two-way communication, as we can see from all these blogs, social networks and other “web2.0″ style sites. A deal hunter would definitely be more inclined to trust a deal site that is open about itself, having real people with real faces, and even open about how the site is monetized.
