I really didn’t want to get too involved in the whole mommy blogger bullshit scene, but after this AdAge post, I’ve decided that it was time to say a few things. (Note: I’m posting those thoughts here instead of in a comment on the AdAge post, because I refuse to comment on any blog that [...]

I received a reader question a little while ago related to the freedom customers have in leaving public feedback about a company, and how a company should treat derogatory comments when they have the ability to delete them. While the question specifically asks about Facebook accounts, it equally applies to company websites, blogs, and other [...]

Mechele Pellebon got in touch late last week, with a link to Joe Nocera’s post on the NY Times Executive Suite blog - P.R. Pitch of the Month (or Maybe the Decade). She wondered ““What would NakedPR say?” Well “Naked PR” is feeling slightly constructive today, so here’s what I think:
Pitching
The pitch came from Amanda [...]

I’ve been intentionally avoiding the PR segment of the blogosphere recently - frankly, at times it sucks the life right out of me, and being busy with real work, house-hunting, and trying to enjoy a bit of life, I just haven’t had the patience for it.
I suppose that means it’s time to dig around looking [...]

See what’s been buzzing in the PR blog party recently. You’ll find some interesting Public Relations reads. Then again, you’ll also find some total crap. Judge for yourself:

Digital Communications is Challenging Search Engine Optimisation - Chris Norton
How to Get a Tech Journalist’s Attention - ExtremeTech
Are the PR Basics Still Relevant - Public Relations Rogue
2007 PR [...]

Apparently Markus Merz doesn’t. Have you seen the BS blog post from earlier today (I guess technically yesterday at this hour)? Give it a whirl:
Big Questions that PR People are Losing Sleep Over
Damn, I’m getting sick of people not in PR acting like they know what the hell the problems with PR are. I [...]

Let’s take a look at some interesting buzz in the blogosphere on all things PR-related in this early stretch of the new year. As always, listing a post here doesn’t mean I agree with it in any way, shape, or form:

Objectivity in public relations and journalism: essential for the credibility of both professions, and [...]

Not long ago, I posted about AdAge including Alexa rankings in the Power150 Index. Long story short, Alexa is about as unreliable of a metric as you can get in Web / blog rankings, because it’s one of the most easily manipulated data sets in existence. Aside from advertisers who truly don’t know any better, [...]

Alexa rankings are now being factored into the Ad Age Power 150 rankings of marketing and media blogs. Let’s hear it for yet another goof in blog ranking metrics folks! I commented on Todd’s post directly, but wanted to share that comment here for you as well. Feel free to chime in with your own [...]

Somebody took a wrong turn….
Yes, I know the Chris Anderson BS has been dying down, and I’m extremely late in the game on this one. However, I saw his stunt mentioned on a forum today as though it were new news, and decided it was time to make at least a few comments. So here [...]
