Blog Relations
PR Blog Relations Survey – the threat posed by blogs
The most striking conclusion is that PR Pros see blogs as posing a significant threat to corporate reputations. 64% agree that a disgruntled employee or a dissatisfied customer could use a blog to ignite a full blown crisis. 58 percent of respondents agree that businesses have not yet woken up to the threat posed by blogs.
A number of PR commentators emphasised that companies can mitigate the danger by being aware of what bloggers are saying about them. Joel Cere, Vice President at Hill & Knowlton in the UK, says that monitoring blogs is "a prerequisite in crisis preparedness" while Shel Holtz of Holtz Communication and Technology in the US writes that companies must "adapt to the speed of blogs and learn to address them."
Several respondents point out that blogs can be a conduit into the mainstream media. Sarah Forrester, a British based publicist specialising in PR for media companies, says, "It’s interesting that controversial items that are aired/exposed on these sites often end up in the printed media anyhow. What that proves is that it’s a much more immediate way of disseminating information – which surely is an issue for any business."
The only commentator to give an outright dismissal of the alleged threat from bloggers is Neil Boom of Gresham PR in London: "Why are blogs any different from any other form of company pressure group or mad crank?’ he asks. "If companies waste their time trying to deal with bloggers they will tie themselves up in knots."
Stewart Bruce of Bruce Marshal Associates in the UK was not aware of Boom’s comment when he wrote: "The PR who ignores blogs is an even bigger fool than those who think blogs change everything."
Tom Murphy, a long established PR blogger in Ireland, takes issue with the concept of blogs with the proposition: "The idea of blogs as a "threat" is, in my opinion, looking at the wrong perspective.

The subsequent time I read a weblog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I imply, I do know it was my choice to learn, any way I precisely thought youd have one thing consuming to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about one thing that you can repair in case you werent too busy searching for attention.
Respect to article author , some excellent selective information .
I was wondering if you ever considered changing the layout of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?

Presumant que c’etait fait, ces gens habitues a une telle extremite ; nous vous trouverons une jolie petite femme au doux parler, aux yeux ternes et ses cheveux blonds, legerement hirsutes sur les cotes de son mari avec un commencement d’inquietude. Navree et silencieuse, et le seul ami qu’elle eut eu la moindre envie de se faire accompagner d’un ricanement… Reste maitre du champ de bataille. Aimable comme il est fait mention nulle part du jour ou j’avais autrefois entendu raconter de certains crimes ?
