Welcome to the backlash

Published on 5/22/2005 in Mouthing Off. Comments

I can’t quite figure this out.

Some objections are being raised regarding Chapter Seven of Naked Conversations, Robert Scoble and Shel Israel’s forthcoming book on business bloggings.

Can we at least wait until the book is out before starting the backlash?

It seems (big shock here) that some PR folks are practicing self-promotion. For the most part, I do prefer to let my work speak for me, and in the section of the book where I do make a (very brief) appearance, it does so quite well.

I can’t speak for anyone else, but the only person who sent the entry around was my wife and that was to my parents. And they aren’t even potential clients, but they will probably buy multiple copies of the book.

  • You have a valid point, David.

    The PR bloggers, present company excluded, have amplified the self-promotive nature of PR to a level that is quite sickening at times. There have always been superstar PR people that spent as much time (or more) promoting their firm or themselves. At the O'Dwyer event, I met a three-person team whose only responsibility was the promotion of their PR firm and its founder (and, not doing that well at it, either).

    You were in the book for your kick-ass work on English Cut, but you are aren't a shameless self-promoter. You could have linked to it, and this was the first real mention of it. After much thought, I linked to the Edelman/Intelliseek report, and still plan on posting about it, but in a bigger picture sense of the other PR blogs out there that have great things to say.

    Blogs have just brought out the new level of publicist that used to respond to Profnet queries for anything and everything, but now they blog for recognition. A great quote this week was that a PR person had clients to pay for his Profnet habit. Now, some people have clients to pay for their blogging habit.
