Even Kathy Sierra is twittering about PR: "PR: The "doesn't matter how good you are if nobody knows about you" arg is weak. NEVER matters how good YOU are. Only how good USERS can be. 12:59 PM August 13\, 2008 from web PR/marketing should fail when it's about "getting word out". If they're about helping "users kick ass"\, we're good. Less pitch\, more teach. 12:56 PM August 13\, 2008 from web Re: "PR is Dead?" meme--PR has same issue as UI design: it's NOT something you can slap on afterward. Must be baked into product. 12:53 PM August 13\, 2008 from web" If your company has a clear story\, the product management is effortless. So let's go back to school and learn PR 101 with Nicole Jordan\, then follow her to her Mixergy lecture on how to get everyone in the company working from a single message.
