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 Brendan 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
by Brendan on February 19, 2008 in PR
As I looked around I realised we probably had a significant proportion of London’s social media types essentially crammed into one bunker, but fortunately we didn’t all get blown up. So the social media bandwagon is still populated, even if it’s a very small one that no one would really notice was missing anyway. My [...]

We live in interesting times. On the one hand we have initiatives such as Pandora’s Box with their backs to the wall for having the temerity to publicise music on a global scale. On the other, in the UK, we have a debate raging about whether digital radio in its current format can survive. On [...]
When bunnies fight
by Brendan on February 11, 2008 in PR
This is a fairly old post but one I just came across. I’m nothing if not untimely. It seems to be a reaction to a letter in PR Week, which in turn was a reaction to an announcement of the formal launch of a social media division. Unfortunately it refers to a previous post without [...]
Social media is not a quick fix
by Brendan on February 6, 2008 in PR
Now that I have cast aside the persona of mild-mannered copywriter to become a big butch social media planner, I find I have queues of people banging on my door – or would do, if I didn’t work in a pod, so they just flap their hands around in the air instead – asking for [...]
Trends
by Brendan on November 28, 2007 in PR
Quite simply, some charts that may be of interest. For example, note how Apple is about to supplant Microsoft in search volume; that PR may be peeling upwards away from advertising; the relative fortunes of bebo, Facebook and Twitter; social media is on the up and up; and, especially heartwarming for me, Star Wars is, [...]

- Liking WebHostingBuzz, and dealsJust over a month ago, I started a relationship with a new web hosting service, WebHostingBuzz.

- Is Your Blog Doing Okay?Last week, I told the story of how I achieved my best month ever on DPS. While I used that post as a case study to present some ideas that I hoped you may be able to use on your own blogs, there’s a hidden hitch with that kind of post: it can give you the impression that you should be aiming to triple your revenue each time you hone a promotion on your site.
