Just heard the keynote speaker, New York Times’ David Carr. If you ever have a chance to hear him speak, do not miss it. He’s a paradigmatic journalist and yet as contemporary in his knowledge and outlook as they come. He also has a brilliant, dry sense of humor that will keep you laughing while you’re being educated. It’s a rapid-fire experience – knowledge, insight, levity – all coming at you via a deceptively understated, deadpan delivery. I think the fact that this journalist’s journalist is also the Internet’s “Carpetbagger” captures the conundrum that is David Carr.

PRSA Digital Impact Conference – Bernoff Speaks
Posted by Joseph DeRupo in June 9th 2008
Here I am at the PRSA Digital Impact Conference in New York City’s Wall Street financial district. Like most PRSA conferences, I’ll hear from leading experts in the field.

Wave Radar: Is that blog post about your company’s new product causing a big splash or a tiny ripple?
Posted by Jay Krall in May 13th 2008

A blog’s visibility can be measured in a great many ways beyond traditional Web metrics such as Unique Visitors per Month. Checking out whether the post has been linked, tagged or cited on a social network or bookmarking utility is a great way to start.
There are even more elemental methods: a general idea of how frequently a blog posts can give you an indication of the breadth of its audience. While it’s always possible that a prolific blogger is just shouting into the void, our analysis of the top 200 blogs by number of unique visitors shows that even in this upper echelon of bloggers, those posting at least three times a day have two and a half times as many visitors as those posting less frequently.
