The PR Blogger "F-List" Announced
Today, Strumpette has completed its first annual "F-List" competition where more than 450 PR bloggers competed to be named one of the worst.
Busted! Excuse me, but all along, we’ve been saying the "A-list” of PR bloggers are a horde of chatty posers. Well, now we got ‘em dead to rights.
The most significant aspect of this story is the sheer irony. Turns out our loudest midway hucksters are the biggest failures in the very thing they sell, i.e. web expertise. For them, standard business practice is to proclaim expertise they apparently don’t have. This exposé makes them out for what they really are: Flimflam artists and confidence men that use cheap carnival hypnosis and hype to bamboozle that green right out of your wallet. For $5, they’ll guess that card you’re holding. And, no matter whether they're right or wrong, they’ll announce that guess with all the conviction your money can buy.
Hyperbole? Maybe a tidge. But this much is certainly true. This story proves but again that big boobs are where the action is and are HUGELY popular.

Having to announce you are authentic reduces authenticity. It's like someone saying "trust me." That's when it's usually time to question any trust you had. "Authentic Com [...]

I'm reading this and hoping (almost beyond all hope) that it's a spoof. I'm actually fearful of looking into it further to find out if this press release is real. Please, for [...]

Everyone always warns about the predators on MySpace, but are they ever talking about the predatory marketers there?

I predict the next wave in Web 2.0 Social Networking will be Antisocial Networking.

If it looks like Dog Doo, feels like Dog Doo, smells like Dog Doo...then it's Authentic! I'm Sold.
