	Phil's Blogservations Monday, February 27, 2006 Posted by philgomes 6:56 PM Edelman Launches TalkShop; Changes At Blogservations Some changes are afoot here that will affect what you see and read here on Blogservations. Basically, I'm proud to announce the introduction of a new blog in Edelman's "Speak Up" stable: Talkshop. This will be a team blog, hosted by yours truly, that dicusses word-of-mouth and the issues and technologies surrounding it. You'll not only see posts from me, but you'll also see contributions from New York's Elizabeth Lee, Chicago's Rick Murray, Sacramento's Josh Morgan, and others. I'll also continue to host earSHOT. I'm proud to say that our "content bench" for the next few episodes is looking very good. I'm aiming to inform a lot of it at the NewComm Forum. The Talkshop Flickr account will take on the majority of the Edelman-related photos. Watch this space for photos from the New Communications Forum this week, as well as my day-to-day musings from the conference. My personal photojournal will still stay up, of course. So, look for content here to lean more toward the personal side of "perso-professional." Posts like this and this, for example, are probably best served by going under edelman.com. Of course, I'll continue to talk about PR and related topics here on Blogservations. As you might guess, my tendency to render some of my strongest opinions somewhat severely and with unusual metaphors might not necessarily fly under the edelman.com domain. This blog will remain that "release valve." One thing I'm not going to do: Close down this blog. I made that mistake before and, as such, I'm now prevented from reposting some of my best work here. Fortunately, Constantin Basturea has pointed us to this cure for web-rot. More news as it develops, gang.

Hell, to be perfectly honest, even Phil disagrees with what he thinks sometimes. This site has virtually no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Clicking on a link doesn't automatically send a 1/2-cent donation to UNICEF. You can't buy, sell, auction, swap, find a date, win friends, influence people, cross the chasm, or decode the human genome using this site. You won't get free email. You won't win a PalmOne Treo or a Playstation2. This site will not end world hunger, foster peace in the Middle East, help you smell better, teach you how to swing dance, or move the global economy from petroleum to hydrogen fuels. You'll learn a lot about this site's master, though, which amounts to a haphazard collection of strange and useless facts that pretty much won't help you at all.
