	Phil's Blogservations Sunday, October 02, 2005 Posted by philgomes 7:55 PM Dan Gillmor Contributes To PR Week Dan Gillmor Contributes To PR Week PR Week is right to bring in a new monthly column from Dan Gillmor. I just caught the first installment. I particularly appreciated this perspective: A conversation doesn't mean total transparency, but it does mean a willingness to listen. We all have plenty to learn. There are those who believe that any business- or company-focusedblog that isn't composed of the raw, unrefined thoughts of the blogger is not a blog. Those people get my infamous "I hate to tell you there's no Easter Bunny" speech. There are others who believe that the only way a company can blog is if every post is scrubbed through PR people, lawyers, investor relations, and so on. Those people (who want to blog whether they really can/should or not) get my "put down that 'Blogs Will Change Your Business' issue of BusinessWeek because there's no slouch in having an online newsletter if blogging is not for you" speech. Yup... It's still about conversation.
