	Phil's Blogservations Thursday, April 28, 2005 Posted by philgomes 8:15 PM Anagrams For "Public Relations" Anagrams For "Public Relations" Last October, at the request of Dave Black at Voce, I gave a talk about blogging to the PRSA Silicon Valley chapter. Searching for a crisp ending to my talk, I had a flash of inspiration the night before. "Wouldn't it be great if the word 'public relations' turned out to be a snappy anagram?" Turned out, it did. "Public relations" became "social blueprint" when the letters were rearranged. Perfect for a talk about PR, blogging, and my thoughts about how they might intersect. Actually, I went back into my blog archive to re-discover this fact. I vainly wondered today whether I was the first to think of this. Turns out the answer is no. People figured it out a long while beforehand. And they figured out other, perhaps less-flattering ones: Crap, built on lies. I care to spin bull. And, for you gentle readers across the pond: I practise bull, no? The lesson here: As a PR pro, you want to aspire to my original — as in "first" rather than "unique" — idea, not the ones I discovered today.
