Blogging and Public Relations

Earn attention by being worth following

Technology Voices treated blogs as a shift in public relations, not merely another distribution channel. The durable lesson is that publication creates an ongoing relationship; a single announcement does not.

Listen before responding

A useful response begins with the actual concern, including the evidence and emotion behind it.

Bring the expert forward

The person closest to a technical decision is often better equipped to explain it than a statement routed through several layers.

Use links as evidence

References let readers inspect the basis for a claim and give credit to the wider conversation.

Build memory

A body of clear, consistent writing helps people interpret a company when news is incomplete or contested.
