Because I'm all about radical translucency, I'll be the first to admit that I have a bit of a competitive streak, mostly kept in check. But it's good competition, the kind that I think makes for better/stronger/faster/smarter results. There's the bad competition, of course, the kind where you want to win by making someone weaker, and the good kind, where you work to win by making yourself stronger. I tend to favor the former.
With that as introduction, it turns out that PR Week is having a 10th year anniversary celebration, and is doing a contest to determine the best PR blog. Since Vallewywag recently dubbed me an "uberflack" PR Week decided Glass House needed to be included in the competition. Single elimination, head to head competition, one blog against another. First round I'm up against Mark Rose of PRBlogNews. Now, I'm all about fair competition, so click on through to Mark's site and look around. I'll even provide Mark's rationale for voting for PRBlogNews:
Why vote PRBlogNews?
Okay, I am a sporadic blogger, prone to fits of inspiration, long bouts of malaise, and I don’t do the incessant link-love cirle jerk thing necessary to pump up the social media ratings. I am not even a fan of social media - I would rather eat a three day old hot dog out of a street cart than go to the Social Media Club.
So, we have a bit of an attitude. This is New York and it’s required. No excuses. We also break the BIG stories, like PR & LSD - a long strange happy tradition and Don’t eat the brown acid. Look around the cubicles of Waggener Edstrom these days and you might notice naked account executives tripping and writing far out PR programs thanks to PRBlogNews.
Fair enough commentary sans the naked bit, and I'm sure that Mark will also link to Glass House so his readers can get perspective. Whoops, maybe not.
Anyway, I started blogging because I was interested in the impact greater transparency was having on the business of business and the business of communication. I keep blogging because I'm passionate about the art of communications and finding ways to innovate with that art.
And remember I like to win. And also note bullet number two. Then click here and vote for Glass House.
