There can never be too many … PR blogs. Or maybe there can be.
But as Tom Foremski notes, it’s a good thing when public relations firms adopt social media. They are called upon to recommend PR tactics, including those involving blogs and other consumer-generated content, so they might as well dip their feet in the […]
Reviews are hell.
Writers, actors, directors and restaurant owners hate them. And so do business owners.
