PRobecast #25: PR on Wikipedia, Social Media Influence, Grammar Vandal and more
July 20th, 2007 by Doug
Welcome to the PRobecast, Episode 25 of Topaz Partners’ weekly PR-related podcast.
Doug Haslam, Rob Capra and Sandy Kalik discuss:
- The “Public Relations” entry on Wikipedia: Is it ok if PR people contribute to it–pretty please, Mr. Wales?
- We discuss a new white paper, “Relating to the Public; the Evolving Role of Public Relations in the Age of Social Media,” by Paul Rand and Giovanni Rodriguez. We talk particularly about integrating social and traditional media, recruiting, and teach new media in PR classes.
- “Social Media Influence” index: Do we need one? Is it useful? Should we create one that shows Tech PR Gems to be the most influential blog?
- Cheering on the Grammar Vandal: striking a blow for proper English. Plus, yet another appeal to get rid of “Post Mortem” in business usage.
- On the Blog: Facebook vs. LinkedIn, Facebook vs. MySpace, and focusing social media usage
- On the Blog: Read alison Raymond’s post on Technorati!
- What to do next week: social media-driven film screening for “No Reservations” at Fenway Theater in Boston, July 24.

Your browser-based player is serving me PRobecast #24. I had to go to iTunes to get the current one.

Hmm, the Splashcast player still hasn’t pinged yet. Maybe Marshall Kirkpatrick is watching.
If episode 24 still shows, you can get episode 25 through the “Download” link directly below the player, or through your podcatcher (iTunes, myPodder).
