Earlier this week, I updated my computer with the latest version of Internet Explorer, which has RSS built in, and it’s taking some getting used to. I’m keeping Pluck running, just in case. In the meantime here are this week’s five items I liked best.
1. Richard Bailey compares the work of a PR consultancy to that of [...]

I just got in from attending a meeting of the Isle of Man Euroclub. The keynote speaker Caroline Jackson gave us an insight into how the European Parliament works (and often doesn’t). Jackson has been described as the most powerful woman in Tory politics, and I can see why. What a refreshingly frank speaker! In an absolutely BS-free half [...]

I watched a great new show on BBC 4 last night, (well it’s new to me anyway). It’s a panel show hosted by Julian Fellowes, yes THAT Julian Fellowes (respected actor, author, producer, etc). Now he adds TV presenter to his CV, and he does a jolly good job too!
His quiz show sees celebrity guests competing [...]

There has long been a rivalry between the marketers and the engineers of this world (even in my own household). Marketing often thinks about blue skies, big pictures and getting results while engineering gets into the nuts and bolts of solving problems and creating solutions. Sometimes engineering thinks of marketing as a parasite that lives [...]

This story was reported in The Mail on Sunday yesterday. You may have heard that Cadbury was recalling a bunch of chocolate supposedly contaminated with salmonella. When I first heard about this, the story was that the recall was a precautionary measure. Now I read that the Food Standards Agency ordered the recall and there is a [...]

Neville Hobson has posted his reading list and dared us all to guess his politcal persuasion. Well given his profession, you’d expect him to “read around” to keep a handle on all perspectives, so it’s not really a fair challenge.
The discussion in the comments is the best part of the post. A number of ex-pats are [...]

It’s been 20 days since I posted a Top 5 listing. So I’m well past due. Here are my faves for this week:
1. Is there a draft in here? I loved Jon Silk’s post about the writing skills of PR professionals. It struck a cord because the issue has come up with me at least half [...]

I’ve noticed two tech PR consulting firms publicising their vacancies on their blogsites. Stuart Bruce is looking for account executives and Ogilvy PR in Washington is looking for similar types. It’s the first time I’ve come across PR firms using blogs for recruitment. I hope they update us on how it works.

I’ve been a bit out of the loop the last couple of weeks. So it took me a few days to notice this excellent post by…the world’s leading….
It’s an interesting look at the economics of freelancing and I think much of it is spot on. But the author fails to factor in the expense of business [...]

Many clients ask about how to ‘control’ employee blogging. The level of fear is somewhat surprising, but indicative of the lack of understanding a lot of corporates have for this technology. In C/net’s Perspectives, Eric J Sinrod, a partner at Duane Morris, gives some good pointers about what to include in a blogging policy along [...]

I’ve been travelling all week and unable to update my blog. It’s surprising how much I missed it, actually. Anyway this is just a quick post to do some shameless self promotion. The Isle of Man Newspapers website ran a Q&A about business blogging in which I answered some common question. Have a great weekend [...]

2. Marcel Goldstein has revisits some lessons about PR consulting. He touches on short-termism, performance and process.
3. Corporate Engagement has posted an IPR [...]

Greg Sandoval wrote a pretty good overview of how mainstream media (MSM) is coping with blogging. There’s lots of good examples and a couple of interesting interviews. Bottom line? They are still feeling their way.
