Wow, I was just having a look around at your site. I found you because I am contemplating a Mosso move. Your articles were insightful and helpful. I’m also very impressed with the integration of conversation tools here on your blog. Keep up the good work.

Well done. Entertaining writing, and informative content.
I too have been an OF user since the beta days. What I like most about your posts is it reminds me of my process of learning.
Once I focused on ubiquitous capture, then I was FORCED to figure out what to do with all those fricking tasks staring at me.
Please keep writing these posts.
To OG, give her a HUGE raise, and a promotion.

Scoble is possibly the MOST connected man on the InterWebs. His internal noise filter doesn't even comprehend "random" calls. He just needs more input at all times!

Also, in the musician article example, it's likely that Hetfield and D were getting sponsored for their endorsement. And, they were being interviewed because a PR person pitched the story to the magazine.

Andrew, thanks for the link. I really enjoyed the other links too. Especially the BizzyWomen, that’s a great find. Keep up the good work.

I’ve never been a journalist. I sympathize with the journalist that gets a thousand crappy pitches a day. But as a PR student, I also understand the, “You’ll cover us eventually” sentiment. If a story is good, it will get out, and it might as well be you, xyz journalist, that gets it.

There is a hierarchical structure to journalists that we must take into account. Once one gets as big as Scoble, they can pick and choose the pitches they like. When you are a starving journalist, I’d imagine you’re more likely to be open to pitches, even crappy ones.

Bad pitches are here to stay. Hopefully, the new media will end the careers of some of the worst offenders.

But in the end, I have to laugh at angry journalists’ “I hate PR” diatribes, because after almost every rant, I see an apology.

Flacks + hacks = bff!

Hey Cynthia, thanks for stopping by. Sorry it had to be bad news. Hmmm.... economic disaster claims another victim? Sad to see OurChart go. Mysterious circumstances too.
