Great post! What PR agency hasn't been told "Get us the NYT, WSJ, FT or else!"?! For all the reasons you listed is exactly why PR folks need to understand marketing too...go where the market is and sometimes it's not the papers. It's really that simple.

As an educator charged with teaching "media relations," I face these issues constantly. Many clients still WANT mainstream coverage and often don't understand the value of coverage/discussion in the more niche online publications, blogs, etc. That's why the real professionals call it "public relations counseling." It's our job to tell them what they need, not sell them (or promise them) what they want.
- Bill Sledzik
btw, to my tweet, I got the point. it's reasonable. mine is that better working relationships lead to better results. and, that, paradoxically, I've found over the years that it's often easier to build relationships with reporters (or bloggers) who have long had nothing to prove.

The vendor/client relationship in real terms http://www.youtube.com/watch... Anyone experience this?

I was that client once upon a time (the woman at the hairdresser to be exact). It was horrible! Not of my own doing, of course. :)

Just send a massive amt of FriendFeed subscriptions requests. Sorry folks, just testing. I don't see the point in FF, it's Twitter lite...

I actually find the threaded conversations riveting. Like Twitter on steroids! :)
- Jennifer Fong
Haha, many would say the exact opposite, Beth ;-) I'm with you, though - feels like FF lost track initially and is playing catch up with trying to be a mix of other services. We'll see - but looks even noisier than Twitter as it stands.
- Danny Brown
I see that now...threaded convos!! Wooohooo! Like I said, I am testing. ;-)
- Beth Harte
I like the pic & vid preview integration vs. twitter. different animal, for sure.
- Seth Gray
It's better than Twitter because of the like and share function. Twitter has fave but no one uses it. Also it allows you to post longer messages and add in lots of feed from your other services. Try adding the Friendfeed bookmarklet to your browser. You can find it at the bottom of the page in Tools & Widgets
- Chris Johnston
I don't really see the point of using Friendfeed, but after getting dozens of requests, I thought I would try it out again too.
- Tawny Press
The threaded comments are the thing. Plus, being able to 'Like' items and have them spread to Twitter automatically to share the love. There is significant potential using FriendFeed. However, I would suggest more personal research before trying to explain in it to a client since it would probably cause their head to explode. Cheers Beth. Looking forward to seeing you next week.
- Richie Escovedo
I'm like you. I signed up months ago and didn't do much with it. However, ppl are starting to ask if I'm on FF more so I'm tipping my foot in again from time to time. I like the threaded convo piece.
- Jeff Hurt
I tried it out last fall and didn't get a lot out of it, but I think more and more people are coming here now, and that is what it's all about. I'll follow the interesting conversation! Since they added "Find your Twitter Friends" a few months back it is much easier to transfer your contacts.
- Sara
It's a refreshing break from twitter message stream flying by without too many folks listening. Here you can jump right in to a conversation and expect interaction which is wonderful
- Mark Essel
the plurk-like threaded comments + the ability to post other media intrigue me. takes getting used to after twitter but I like it more and more each day
- Jeremy Wiles
you don't have to follow thousands of people, follow a few super users that like often and you can see a lot of great information, you can follow anyone in this conversation by hovering over their name
- Mark Essel
ACTUALLY it's a great way to pay attention to all the things in the people lives you care about, to participate in real-time longform discussions and find really interesting things in an expanded format that you would never have seen on Twitter. It's a different flavor of social network. Use it as so. If you want to use it as twitter, then create a Twitter section different from your home screen.
- Damien Basile
an like twitter, click on the time tag to pop this conversation out into a new window
- Mark Essel
I'm still trying to figure out why there's been such an uptick... what we NEED is a way to port group info.
- Ike Pigott
I couldn't agree more, I'm still trying to find the big advantage of FriendFeed myself.
- Todd Beane
I guess you don't want us to subscribe to your feed then? :-)
- Achim Muellers
FriendFeed as Twitter lite? Never heard that. It's certainly not true.
- Louis Gray
friendfeed takes a bit to get, kind of like how I sat on Twitter for over a year before I "got it."
- Jason Nunnelley
I get the feeling FF is due for a big spike in popularity, there seems to a significant amount of people coming here to see what's going on...
- Iain Baker
Twitter is straw, friendfeed is water main.
- Alex Scoble
Beth.. Leave us a link to your group. I'd like to see what you're up to ;-)
- Brad Williamson
Yeah, I'm with you, Beth. FriendFeed excited me at first, but the excitement wore off pretty quickly, when it didn't gain as much traction with other users as I thought.
- Chris
If people pay attention here, then it is valuable. Otherwise, it is just another place to check.
- Howard Yermish
I am crying UNCLE!! ;-) Okay, so FriendFeed is Twitter Max. I see that now after adding more folks and throwing out a question like the one above. See that, testing/playing helps...
- Beth Harte
i took twitter out of FF, twitter updates weighted the same as blog posts doesn't jive
- Paul Rj Muller
A lot of people pay attention here, and do so effectively with Lists via grouping by type of participants/content. Twitter feeds included, but there's so much more available and valuable discussions cluster around shared content in real time.
