April 26: PR top 5
Jo is off until next week. Until then you’re stuck with my PR top 5. Enjoy!
1. Leo suggests that you shouldn’t take notes during a meeting so that you free your mind to truly listen to the discussion. I’m not so sure. I can’t remember a single thing after five minutes if I don’t write it down. Maybe the solution is to bring someone to take notes, or tape the conversation.
2. Both Sally and Heather got personal on their blogs this week. It’s posts like these that give the reader insight into the person behind the blogs and makes them unique. Thank you both for the honesty and for sharing your private lives with us.
3. Morgan McLintic explains the merits of keeping timesheets. Strivers please take note.
4. Dan York and Sallie Goetsch guest hosted FIR The Hobson and Holtz report. They did a good job but I missed Neville and Shel. Their personalities are fundamental to the show’s appeal.
5. Peter Wilby continues his brilliant Brass Tacks series with # 14…Offer them a chance to interview. It’s an excellent tactic to meet the needs of each reporter.
6. Okay. Okay. I know a top 5 should end at 5, but this week I just can’t help myself…there’s so much good stuff out there. Here Seth Godin explains why quality, not quantity, is important when it comes to website traffic.
7. On Word Wise, Dan Santow regularly reminds us of all the basics of English grammar. In this post he discussed the collective noun, something that I find many Britons fail to understand. It’s ‘the company is’ people! Not ‘the company are’. Get it right, already!

Trust me, I missed Shel & Neville, too. I don’t know how they manage to do that twice a week. I’m looking forward to having them back on Monday.
PS I think there’s something wrong with your captcha plugin.
Sallie, I’ve been talking to people who put together podcasts this week. Apparently it takes an incredible amount of work to create a polished, professional show. Hats off to all you podcasters out there. Methinks I’ll stick to writing…it’s easier.
