If a tool exists to facilitate that while providing value-added services specifically for PROs, I can see a business model. Of course, it needs members, which may well be where this venture grinds to a halt.<BR/><BR/>I have always felt that PR has been on the backfoot when it comes to web 2.0.

You couldn't miss them with their horrible ill fitting faded print T-shirts unervingly loitoring around and propping up the bar. Just in case we didn't notice him he shouted out his question to the panel from the back of the room. Despite feeling horribly uncomfortable in their presence i think it's a good idea. We only really meet other PR folk at networking events, trying to exploit each other and it might be good fun to meet up with like minded people. Also, most people, like myself have come to London to work so it's never a bad idea to find someone else to watch the football with. <BR/><BR/>I'm gonna go and seewhat it's like and I'll let you know if it's crapAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28401170.post-49053793958815204162007-04-25T11:16:00.000+01:002007-04-25T11:16:00.000+01:00That makes me feel a little ill.That makes me feel a little ill.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
