Flogged to death…

The world of blogging has plenty of contrived language to keep itself distanced from Mr Average man on the street. In fact, I read something recently arguing that even Harvard Business School isn’t quite sure what a blog is.

Should in-house PR people be blogging?

A few days ago, there was a twitter conversation about the relatively few number of in-house PR professionals that are active bloggers. Some of the key thoughts were:

US PR blogger Mel Seasons made a note in her facebook profile on what could prove to be a cheeky viral site prior to the US elections.
