After writing the last post, I started thinking of the idea of transparency. The idea of transparency seems to be taking off right now.

Contrary to popular belief, I wasn’t in Seattle to just play Guitar Hero, watch guys throw fish, and see the Experience Music Project (though I did do all those things). I was also there to meet with a group of the best Flex developers to get their thoughts on how the would want to play [...]

A bit of blogodrama (tm Geoff Livingston) took place yesterday over a new list of the Top 20 PR Power Women bloggers developed by Valeria Maltoni (and no, it’s not about the fact that I wasn’t included, despite my rampant awesomeness).

Quick! Everybody Panic!!!!!!!!! Dvorak has spoken, and he’s warning us about the looming online market bust. In his words: Every single person working in the media today who experienced the dot-com bubble in 1999 to 2000 believes that we are going through the exact same process and can expect the exact same results—a bust.

So, I promise to shut up about celebrity PR stuff eventually, it’s just that I get so much fodder for it on a daily basis, since so many of them are such complete PR lunkheads.
