Wal-Mart Edelman Blog Blunder
Very nice of someone to write a blog about how you can travel across the USA and always park overnight in a Wal-Mart car park for free – nice for Wal-Mart that is.
I started thinking about all the other amazing things there are to see in this vast country of ours. And then I started thinking about how Wal-Mart — one in every town, practically — lets you park overnight for free.
Pity it reads just like typical PR rubbish. Hold on a minute, it is PR rubbish! It turns out that this idea was cooked up by the Edelman agency – the same Edelman whose boss writes a blog, and that hired a slew of PR bloggers.
Interesting to hear the take on this in the For Imediate Release Podcast. It gives an impression of the confusion this debacle has sowed in the PR World. Presenter Shel Holtz rightly expresses sorrow and regret that Edelman should cock-up like this, then co-presenter Neville Hobson reports on how nice it was to meet Richard Edelman at a blogger meet-up in London last week. Presumably Neville recorded his piece before this news broke.
Edelman reminds me of running journalism courses in various parts of the world. The students nod and say lots of intelligent things in the discussion, but when they go out and do their stuff, they come back with material that does the opposite of all that we talked about. This is exactly what Edelman does in the blogosphere.

It’s a pity Neville learned about this minor-hickup on the FIR podcast from me. He’s a true gent among bloggers and podcasters, and I admire the podcast that he and Shel do tremendously.
[...] I’m finding the various RSS feeds, blogs about Social Media, White Papers from Edelman on how to manage and use Corporate Blogging (yeah, their WalMart thing was useful to their reputation in this arena) interesting reading. Thinking of re-naming this blog “JOHNNY COME LATELY” or “BANDWAGGONER”. [...]
Hi, really like your site. Just got a question, does anybody know where I can buy software called Mototools 6 from?
It’s used for unlocking Motorola phones with the IMEI, and I really need it, as I don’t have a cable to link my phone to my PC.
Please help!

Reading this i finally took a break from my work. I have a hardware store, and i get kinda stress throughout the day =) your post just gave me a few minutes of relax =] I tried to find a rss feed on your site, so that i could get some more. Ill be sure to come here more often from now on ^__^
have been reading ur blog around several days. really like what you posted. by the way i’m conducting a study relating to this issue. do you happen to know other great blogs or maybe online forums where I can get more information? many thanks.
Another blunder of theirs happened in the internet marketing department (perhaps another new medium for them?).
i really liked your post it is really amazing and had brushed up my mind. i will definately be revisiting your blog.
That was a wonderful post! Thanks for sharing your
knowledge
with us! I hope to read more of your post which is
very informative and useful
to all the readers. I salute writers like you for doing
a great job!
Thank you very much for this entry. Looking forward to another one.

That i stumbled across a motivating item in older times to earn profits through trying out jewelry gold current market. I think it’s time unique for the reason that silver segment is apparently exploding at present and extremely persons have been using it again. gold2green.net
Along with the whole thing which seems to be building inside this area, a significant percentage of viewpoints tend to be quite stimulating. Even so, I beg your pardon, but I do not subscribe to your entire plan, all be it exhilarating none the less. It would seem to everyone that your commentary are generally not totally rationalized and in simple fact you are your self not totally certain of your assertion. In any case I did take pleasure in looking at it.
Hello! I know this is kinda off topic however I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest writing a blog post or vice-versa? My site addresses a lot of the same topics as yours and I believe we could greatly benefit from each other. If you’re interested feel free to shoot me an e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you! Superb blog by the way!
