Thanks for the fantastic analogy about the love/hate chemistry between bloggers and PR folks. I totally agree -- one decadent night of hot hate sex would clear this mess right up. Thanks and I'm now officially your biggest fan, thanks to @vasta who Tweeted me in your direction!

How does that blogger really know that person hasn't been reading them for two years? What has to go in the email to "prove" that? Does that even matter? Should you at least listen to someone that has given you readership for two years? Heck I'd hope so.<BR/><BR/>Maybe there should be some sort of "How to Pitch a Blogger" template. Perhaps it should have questions like: How long have you been reading the blog?; What's your favorite post?; Where are the comments you've left me before?<BR/><BR/>Seriously, though. I'm a blogger. Have been for a couple years. I just happen to also have a product to push. I haven't pitched any bloggers, really. One big reason? I'm hesitant to do it because some seem so trigger-happy.Adam Darowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16105619605539893940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7867887.post-33267108645319042482008-05-12T22:56:00.000-04:002008-05-12T22:56:00.000-04:00I agree with you totally, Saul, but I think the bl...I agree with you totally, Saul, but I think the bloggers who are upset are the ones for whom the blogging thing is a paid gig, so they do consider themselves journalists, I think. It's just growing pains as we all become creators of media rather than just consumers of it. If we can all get a few pairs of shoes or some electronics out of it, great.<BR/><BR/>But I would warn any PR person who sent me something that I'm just as likely to blog about how horrible it is as how good it is. You can buy coverage, but you can't buy good coverage. Unless, of course, your product is good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
