[...] Check the writings of the prominent PR bloggers, including many on my blogroll, and you find scarcely a mention of Steve’s post. You’ll find a lot of idle chat about media “snacking, but nothing of significance. (Same silence last week following the critical and hilarious “New Media Douche Bag” video.

My reading trajectory of Rubel has been similar to yours and I think the skunk drunk post is right-on. But…I think there’s a lack of self-awareness in this post. He’s as guilty as anyone in turning up the knob on the hype-o-meter. Too much link love for the kind of Web2.0 bandwagon fluff that he now complains about.

This stuff undermines the longer analytical posts.
