Apparently, PR agencies don't know anything about social media & need to hire blog consultants

B.L said so in her press release:

"Now you need to hire us to bring your clients into the world of social media. That way you can stop wasting everyone's time and money on your education. Otherwise, by time you get with the current program, the next big thing will already be passing you by."

Am I just cynical about this? Maybe tomorrow I'll issue a press release about myself, for myself, quoting myself, telling folks to hire myself... Or, maybe the hell not.

Full disclosure, for what it's worth... B.L and I both write for BusinessBlogConsulting.com

Hi Dana - The press release is sort of joke. You're probably no aware of this, but B.L. sent out it out as an experiment to see if she could foil Google the way a 15-year-old kid was able to do:

Yes, Dana, that's the problem with sites like PRWeb. They are excellent tools to help you get the word out about your new product or service. But just because anyone can post a press release there, doesn't make them a PR expert. Unfortunately, do-it-yourself PR sites like this (not picking on PRWeb, mind you...) are filled with self-laudatory promotional announcements like this one...

A serious question...Which F1000 companies have attributed blogging to the success and growth of their business?

Good points.
Heaven doesn’t have pressreleses, but hell does
