30 August: PR top 5

Gartner Research's Hype Cycle diagramImage via Wikipedia

I just spent 3.5 hours reading PR blogs.  What an excellent way to while away a cold damp Saturday morning. It’s tough to boil it down to just five favourites, but here goes.

1. Dave Jones has posted and invited us to steal his blog stats dashboard template.  It seems to be a useful tool. Thanks Dave.

2. Neville Hobson offers some analysis of the 2008 Gartner Hype Cycle. Apparently Web 2.0 has a good chance of delivering on its promise.

3. Robert Geller gives us a useful framework to ensure our teams continue to delight our clients with RSOI.

4. Owen offers some insight into Microsoft’s recent acquisition of GreenField Online.  Are they chasing consumers?

5. Chris Edwards points out how inept BT was with a recent announcement about the withdrawal of a service.  Reminds me of an email I received from my accountants this week.  “Dear Sherrilynne, We are doubling our fees starting next month.  Thank you.” Well at least they are being clear.  Shall I vote with my feet?

  1. Thanks for spreading the word about the dashboard. i’d love to get some feedback from your readers so we can make it better and consider releasing it as a wordpress plugin

  2. Sherri Lynne,

    Thanks for calling out my post on RSOI. It is not the most elegant acronym, but it works. Like your other picks too.

    Bob
