Oh, man. There’s a lamentable piece in PR Week right now about blogging. I must say that the journalist in question, Peter Crush, has actually done a decent job of putting this story together, for the most part. I know smart people who read it and found it useful, and I’m sure others will, too. […]

I was supposed to spend some quality time with Adriana yesterday, not having seen her since we were working together in New York last week, but unfortunately was (am) still unwell. Well, my loss is your gain, as it looks like she finally got down to some blogging. I am always yelling at her to […]

Leave it to Adriana to nail exactly why Flickr’s enforcement of Yahoo ID sign-ins on their very earliest customers is a very big mistake. She also offers this point about ‘community’ online - one that a lot of marketers and self-described social media gurus would do well to understand:
A lot has been written and powerpointed […]

Adriana has the scoop on how Microsoft’s customer-hostile business practices have provoked some Microsoft-hostile parodies - from customers - of the company’s oh-so-cringeworthy attempts to ‘embrace social media’. Forgive the awkward metaphor to come, but based on what I’ve seen over the last four years of what happens when big business try to swim in […]

I’ve been a Doc Searls fan for a few years now (yes, Jackie-come-lately); despite not agreeing with everything he says, more often than not he hits the nail on the head with what seems like no effort at all. I’ve bought copies of Cluetrain for friends and colleagues, and referred many more people who actually […]

You know, I just don’t know how the PR firm Edelman, in the light of revelations about its latest attempt to scam the blogosphere, can with a straight face talk about how they “get” social media and give an “Edelman University” course on ethics in social media. If you can’t walk the walk, what on […]

I met up with Spannerworks‘ head of social media Antony Mayfield this afternoon. He’s authored an e-book which covers off the basics of social media for those who are trying to get a grip on the fundamentals. “My take on him is that he’s a good, honest guy,” Antoine (who’s met Antony a few times) […]

Dave Winer and Robert Scoble, to name just two notables, have been blogging recently about how there is a lot of money to be made for companies who are willing to listen to what their blogging customers have to say. The way companies tend to work now with bloggers is that, if you’ve got a […]

Dave Winer saw $2.3 million in revenue from his blog last year.
People think blogs are about advertising, and I would agree, but they’re thinking in terms of clicks and eyeballs, and I’m thinking of technology that’s created using the intelligence of community participation.
Hell, you don’t even have to be in the technology business to reap […]

Tonight was the conversation to get the Social Media Club going in London, which took place at the Covent Garden offices of Fleishman Hillard. Pictures are here.
We had a great turn-out and a genuinely interesting dialogue, with strong viewpoints coming from all corners. (My prediction that every time a conversation is held about social […]

Sam Sethi on “Why marketing and PR people kill great companies“:
