[…] PR 2.0, therefore, is significant and it is worthy of discussion, rather than ridicule. And let me point out, that there will not be a 3.0 or any other rev numbers, unless there is another tremendous evolution, fusion, or breakthrough in the practice, science, and art of communications.
Too late, Brian:
The age of PR 3.0 is upon us.
And the New PR is now a company.
Oh, well.
If you don’t know a librarian, you should. They remind us of two critical things in life: we don’t know nearly as much as we think we know, or should, and the sources we rely on these days for truth are not nearly as reliable as we’d like to believe.

No, I’m not planning to write only about my day job on this blog, but until we’ll have our corporate blog up and running (about a week or so) I thought I’ll let you know about a couple of events where you can find the Converseon team — just in case you might want to participate, or come by and say hi :)
So here they are:
Hope to see you there!
Hey, the headline says it all! :)
I’m really happy to announce that, starting today, Paull Young is joining Converseon as Senior Account Executive, and that we’ll work together to create social media strategies for our clients (here’s the official press release, including an audio message from Paull).
Paull needs no introduction. He built a unique profile for himself in the PR blogosphere, as a blogger and director of podcasting for Forward, and as a leader for the anti-astroturfing campaign. And, of course, he’s that one lucky guy who traveled around the world to meet in “meat space” the friends made on the internet :)
Welcome aboard, mate! It’s a thrill to be your colleague!
Update: Here’s Paull’s entry on the announcement.

Congrats to the winners!

Abstract
While blogs are not yet a standard public relations tool, practitioners use blogs to enhance their power within their organizations. Using an online survey of public relations practitioners, this pilot test examined the relationship between power and blog use. Three factored categorizations of blog use among practitioners emerged: routine information and research, interactive blog communication, and issues identification. Results showed differences based on power, between blog users and non-users, owner-practitioners and non-owners, among others.
