For example, you kindly linked to my Blogger Relations bookmark (thank you) - well, I own a PR firm that lives by those rules... so that's one good PR firm. And Rohit Bhargava works at Ogilvy, so that's two good ones. Brian Solis is a PR guy, too. My point is, yes, there are some crappy PR practices out there, but, many of the voices that you esteem to be *worth* listening to are *also* PR folks. We're trying to create positive change on industry practices from the inside. Wish us luck!? ;) I empathize with your challenges, Gaurav, but would humbly ask you to not lump all PR firms in the same mix.
