It’s nice to hear a new blogger reflect on the business of PR and blogging. Michael O’Connor Clarke of Mansfield Communications makes an important point about marketing Communations. Referring to Cluetrain’s Doc Searls’ line that ‘markets are conversations’ he has this to say about why blogging hapens.
So marketers should be conversationalists. Explains why so many PR pros have ventured into blogspace. We’ve come here looking for the conversations – and hoping to start some.

Thanks! And thanks for adding me to your blogroll too. Sound as I can figure out how the MT template works at Corante, I’ll certainly repay the complement.
I’m enjoying all these welcoming words from fellow flacksters, I must say. Can’t remember anything like this kind of welcoming committee when I took my first faltering steps into blogspace back in 2001 – but then I guess there were just less people around to notice back then.
The extraordinary thing now is to notice just how many PR people have started blogging. From a totally unscientific rough-as-heck survey, it looks like PR bloggers outnumber journalist bloggers by a factor of about 3 to 1. As in life; so in the blogosphere. 🙂
