Social Selves

Sorry it took me so long to update the list of PR and Communications blogs. You’ll find below the list of blogs I found in the last 4 month, as well as the blogs that have changed their addresses (or feeds). Also, I deleted from the list a number of weblogs that haven’t been updated in the last year, as well as other blogs that are less focussed on PR and communications.

General information:

• The list has currently 555 feeds
• About the list — description & FAQ
• Browse the list (the public Bloglines list will continue to be available, but I will recommend using this page as a reference)
• Import the list’s OPML file
• Find new PR blogs (RSS) without waiting for the monthly update.
