Russell Beattie Hates Me

Well, not me specifically, but PR bloggers and PR people. For someone that laments and strikes out at the PR / marcom industry bloggers, he has done a little bit of work in the industry. Personally, I didn't know IBM had a media relations office in Boca Raton. That must have been a cool job. I am confused, though, on his comment that blogging isn't his job. Isn't it part of the "Evangelizing, strategizing and managing development of new mobile products and services" that he does for Yahoo mobile? I have now been blogging on PR for two years - my little anniversary was July 2nd, and as soon as the new design is ready, I'll post my anniversary post - and when I do speak to other PR firms or people, the first thing I note is that they PubSub, Blogpulse, Cymfony, his own take on it, but mentions he loves Beattie more than I did here - I don't know Russell, so I would feel odd proclaiming any love for him. Respect, yes. Love, no. Russell Beattie is talking about - hey, at least it's not me that he hates. Yes, hates is a strong word, but come on, the title is funny. And, Steve ... so, you hate that term after you got slammed for using it), but if others bring up issues, you ignore them? I'm still waiting to see your response Amazon card is embarassing - for you and for everyone else in PR. Links: Resume Jeremy Pepper is the CEO and founder of Musings from POP!
