Edelman/Technorati panel

  • Categories: PR

Over the past 72 hours, I’ve barely had fifteen minutes to myself – suffice to say, when it comes to being a road-warrior traveler, I’ve got NOTHING on my boss.

I hope to have some time tomorrow to write some more specific thoughts about the panel, the research released, and my thoughts about how the data can inform programs and not just discussion. (for what it’s worth, I personally found the StrategyOne data on blogging and political action far more interesting than the lists of influential blogs, but that’s just me) In the meantime, Jacki Danicki, who attended the event at Claridge’s but I didn’t have the chance to meet, has a really thoughtful post about the event.

    FWIW, as a blogger who has never particularly done anything professional with blogging, I think Jackie is right on about the “zooification” of bloggers. (Jackie’s smart and I read her regularly.)

    It’s rather a pet peeve of mine that people seem to hold bloggers at arm’s length, like we’re some weird Other Species that has to be addressed in a particular way. Duh, we’re just people, and the only thing unique about us is that we’re egotistical enough to think other people might want to read our opinions on the Internet.

    I was at a panel on blogging once, and as I expected, it was kind of like “Blogging 101 for Old DC Fogeys,” and I distinctly remember one woman getting up and saying with exasperation, “Who ARE these people?”

    No one is ever going to really “get it” if they keep thinking of people who blog as some unique brand of weirdo who has to be approached a certain way. I’m just a chick with a website and some strong opinions, you know?
