Rebecca Lieb at ClickZ has a great rant this morning about PR pros that's cleverly titled Media and Potatoheads. In the piece, she issues a stern warning...
Much of the PR world seems to only now to be awakening to the fact there's something out there called a "blog." You should've known this long before Ana Marie Cox made The New York Times Magazine's cover or Dan Rather endured Memogate. It's your job to know.Blogs have changed the way we do our job, and they should change the way you do yours.
In addition, she also has some choice words for Microsoft on embargoes ...
Note to Redmond: We know sometimes it can't be helped. But we keep getting announcements from you guys at 6:00 p.m. EST that are embargoed until midnight. Thanks for the heads up and all, but please bear in mind though we're dedicated, we have personal lives, too.
After Sam Whitmore's item last night I am wondering, is it Friday yet? I think it is, right?
