by on May 18, 2008 in blogging, PR

A week ago I published the results of tag analysis of the blogs in the PR Friendly Index, and then looked at the frequencies of usage of those tags. So, let’s now look at who is talking – or, at least, tagging – about what, exactly. Click the blog link to go to the blog, [...]

What are we talking about?

by on May 5, 2008 in blogging, PR

source »       While on holiday, sipping a Piña Colada, I had a sudden thought (well, it happened to Newton, right?) I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about keywords recently, and I suddenly wondered what the keywords in the PR Friendly Index would look like. That is, take them all, and plot them in some [...]

I attended the Chinwag Measuring Social Media event last night
