Grapevine Consulting

I read a lot of other PR peeps’ blogs. I learn loads from seeing what my peers in PR/Social Media are up to and also because they write about some great stuff (how they have the time to find it all and then write it up I have no idea)

Just catching up on my feeds I thought I’d do a round up of things that caught my eye:

New Media Curious- Ben’s moved his blog to http://benayers.co.uk/. It looks great and I have a little blog envy

PR Blogger - Stephen’s advertising, for a friend, a job opp at Cake as a Digital Account Executive (I guess they’re looking for Stephen 2.0)

Under Strict Embargo- Daljit gets me up to speed on all the Phorm stuff I’ve been hearing about

Simon Collister- shares his CIPR diploma research project on the ability of political bloggers in the UK to affect the MSM agenda of broadsheet newspapers

Bredan Cooper – keywords are the basis to social media monitoring, here’s a good intro into what they are and how to pick ‘em

Drew B – posts a good video explaining Twitter. After watching it to double-check I really *do* understand Twitter, I finally have to say I’m not loving it. I held off on this declaration until now as I suspect it shows me up to have a boring life. You can judge for yourself if you want: Me fumbling around on Twitter with a pitiful 14 updates

A PR guy’s musings - Stuart’s news about the new Downing Streeet Twitter feed gave me hope I might not be the boringest person on Twitter. But it’s actually quite good, almost like a direct press wire from the government. No doubt a lot of people will hate it

Right, just noticed – where are all the female UK PR bloggers on my reader? (OK Shiny Redgals I know about you but I meant individual blogs). With such a high percentage of women working in PR I know it can’t just be the blokes who have gone out and started blogs. Who am I missing as part of my reading list?
