Yes Virginia, There Are Still "Communicators" Who Don't Know What a Blog Is

Better late than never they say. Here's someone who's a couple years late to the party. A guy named Erich Viedge, to whose email I did NOT subscribe, spammed me with the following message today:

He said: Blogs, podcasting and the (really) new media

Why I am talking about this? Because more and more people are supplementing their main-stream news consumption with stuff from the “blogosphere”. Which means that you need to manage this in some way, or it will bit you (or your clients), hard!

Welcome to 2005 Eric.

blogging, worst_practices

LOL: "Which means that you need to manage this in some way, or it will bit you (or your clients), hard!"

Of course he hadn't heard of "the (really) new media." That's because he still hasn't grasped the (really) old concept of proof reading.

I can imagine the fact that this guy spammed you, BL, made this sort of criticism tempting. But let he/she who is without sin cast the first stone. And Liz, have you never made a typo yourself? By keeping public commentary positive we lift ourselves and our readers.

I've certainly taken my lumps Mark. If you want everything to be positive, read press releases.
