Hi Darika, I agree with you, it's rather strange situation with so many similar fanatical reviews. I think that comment systems must use some filters or something else to aviod this.

Well, good news for me, thanks!

I understand you're frustrated but is this the right forum for that kind of comment?

Aw, thanks for that, Claire! I think you're right, PRs need to appreciate the situation of the people they're pitching to (without patronising them). But bloggers need to understand the best ways to deal with PR approaches, too. We all need to learn to get along... *starts a group hug*

Re: Blogger Outreach: Diane Shipley

Claire Deegan — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 16:18:16 -0000

As a SAHM who reviews and blogs, I think Diane has it spot on. While its great that we are seen by PRs at least as "the new media" its also important for PRs to remember that we aren't all professionals. I write my reviews in between changing nappies and walking to and from nursery or the supermarket!

Thanks so much for letting me contribute to your fab series, Darika! (I promise to make an effort to thank helpful PRs in future...)

Being there on the day - actually I felt that your presentation was by far the liveliest of the day and one of the better presentations I have seen at all the recent conferences I've attended. Personally if anything, I felt that it had so much GREAT information I wanted you to slow down so we could take it ALL in. (which you guys noticed and took on board during the presentation!!).

As for some of the discussion about the infographic - it has been a lot of crap over semantics. As for why haven't I critiqued it yet? To be honest - I have been busy - and I am REALLY looking forward to delving into your fantastic framework to QUESTION and CHALLENGE it in a grown up and constructive manner.

Thanks to Shannon, Paul and yourself for delivering the highlight of the #SoCol day.

Re: GETTING PERSONAL ALERT!

Shannon Eastman — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 15:38:30 -0000

I absolutely love your integrity, objectiveness and willingness to acknowledge the less pretty things in life Darika.

I share your sentiment regarding the less pleasant feedback coming through in whispers and behind open hands when there was an obvious and prolonged opportunity to share the mic with us.

I am choosing to take the good with the bad in my stride. I am choosing to acknowledge that if you aren't getting negative effects from somewhere then you're likely not doing enough of the right things. I am also making it a point to remind myself to slow down before I dismiss an idea or concept as it is far too easy to criticise... way more difficult to do something actually worth criticising.

I'm really happy with our effort, the content and the end result. I'm also really happy you and @munkyfonkey are still talking to me. I know that SoTech became far bigger and way more demanding than expected. xo

What a total dickwad this person must be! I can't imagine finding anything you do or say anything less than insightful, clever, thoughtful and ...well... right!

Oh Darika, it sounds dreadful. Really sad to hear you're unhappy. I wish I could've been there to support you. x
