On September 27, nearly 300 local bloggers and journalists gathered in Orlando, Florida for
BlogOrlando3. Phil Gomes and Leah Jones headed south from Chicago and each led a session—Phil talked about internal training and Leah talked about search skills. Along with the other participants, both came away with global lessons from this highly successful hyper local unconference.
This week we thought we would share some of the case studies and lessons from
BlogOrlando3.

Auburn University's Robert French is to be congratulated for what he's accomplished with
PROpenMic. In just six months, the site stacks up quite favorably in every measure to the likes of
myragan.com (the closest thing I can compare it to) and even some other well-known PR-focused sites.
I'll let
Robert's analysis speak for itself. For my part, there are a number of lessons for all PR practitioners here, both new and experienced.

Nicholas Carr first thought that Google was responsible for re-mapping our minds. For example, reducing our attention spans, limiting our ability to twist and turn with a long narrative, or stay focussed in the middle of a film without typing...

I offered 7 points which
he posted on

Blah, blah blah. So many PR blogs tell you what to do. Do this, don’t do that. Can’t you read the signs? I thought this was a conversation after all. I’ve got a better idea. Rather than lecture to you,...

While attending the
Institute for International Research -- Middle East (IIRME) 2008 PR Congress in
Dubai, I had the good fortune to meet Donald Steel, the
BBC's head of press.
After lunch, we sat down for a quick interview. This was only an hour or so after he delivered an excellent talk about crisis communications, topping it off with an intense hour-long version of a five-hour crisis exercise that BBC's communicators and marketers undergo.
The question was "What skills to new PR pros need to learn with regard to crisis comms?" Hear his answer after the jump.
