The blogosphere absolutely creates an environment for reviewing new content and popular news these days. Because of the strong network tied between the blogs and individual post comment pages, people have been able to cross-link between each other's blogs as well as links to the brand in question. Not only does this increase popularity towards the brand, the links themselves have allowed Google and other search engines to create the all too powerful marketing concept of Search Engine Optimization. The more blogs that comment on said brand, the higher the issues surrounding the brand comes up on the first page of Google search. It's so empowering that companies, like mine's, have control over the power of bloggers towards brands and issues. When it comes down to PR, SEO has led the way in creating control in bloggers.

All very good points in this piece. This is still relatively near territory, I think, but as bloggers and PR professionals learn about each others' roles and expectations, this will be easier to navigate. We recently held a panel with bloggers and PR professionals in Las Vegas, and it was eye-opening for both parties. I think open communication is key to making that relationship work well for everyone involved.

You make some excellent points, especially about the words "Thank You " and "I'm Sorry". Things just work better when some basic social graces are observed – well said!
