Jim Turner over at One By One Media had a good post over the weekend about <a href="http://www.onebyonemedia.com/wordpress/a-blog-lesson-learned-a-failing-grade-given-to-these-pr-and-avertising-agencies/" rel="nofollow">some PR folks getting a failing grade where bloggers are concerned</a>. I think it will be a while yet before the old school communicators really begin to understand blogging and all it can do for them. I guess the rules are just a little different than what they are used to. Ah, There she is (on the left).

I got a reply from that person on my blog. Of course, I had to respond. Having been a presenter for another technology workshop before, I have to give you kudos for maintaining composure and not calling an all-out war. I really felt that there were so many people in the room that were new to the blogging world and just wanted insight and ideas, not to have the entire blogging medium blown apart. As for Gorgeous not being photographed, there is one of her on Pixels, but she is next to me. I agree with the PR thing. I was hoping to come away with some tactics from that session that I could use for CPR, but was shocked that it was more reliant on professional bloggers to promote. It seemed sorta backwards to me. I look at blogging for PR (for our purposes) as a way to provide further insight and validation to our activities. I have not been on top of it as much as I should, but am trying to get better. I feel that there is so much else going on that isn't seen through our website that others should know. I look to our blog as a way to invite others to this information. But that's just my opinion. Say hi to gorgeous for me. Ah, the “audience member.” I got a reply from that person on my blog. Of course, I had to respond.

Thanks for the insight. I certainly don't claim to have all the answers. And I see a whole lot of gray area where blogging is concerned. There's tons to be learned from most everyone. Give us a holler when you are up and running with your site. I'm looking forward to seeing what y'all come up with. Hey Drew! Thanks for the insight. I certainly don’t claim to have all the answers.

You're ability to accept and manage the disagreements in the room, as well as... 2. Your ability to facilitate the session without manipulating it. I could see you've got tremendous experience with what you were talking about but I never got the impression that you were trying to prove you were an expert, just share your knowledge. I learned a lot from the discussion. I'll let you know when our blog's up so we can get a critique from you. Hey Chris,

I was thinking about you Friday. Bummer that we didn't get a chance to meet. Didn't realize we made the paper. Should have figured that one out with SavannahNow as a sponsor for the event. Doh! Mark!

Then, after its said and done, I see you in the Savannah Morning News and now find all this. I say to you Chris Cree - way to go! Took the risk and put yourself "out there." You've come a long way in a short time - kudos to you. Mark Wow – am I feeling a day late and a dollar short :(

I was amused as much as anything about the photo. I remember noticing her behind me just as she snapped the picture which caught me by surprise and gave me that "guilty" look. I laughed about it with her at the time. And I'm still laughing at how goofy I look now. Hey Shawn, sorry to hear about your mom. I was amused as much as anything about the photo.

At least here in Savannah." I could not bare to stay in that session. As for the coffee picture, you may hate it now, but as a woman that lost her mother recently, if you have kids, that picture will mean something to them. “I came away with the feeling that the PR industry still has a bit to learn about blogging and it’s usefulness to their cause.
