I get a lot of press releases these days. Actually, I’ve always gotten a lot of them, but the last year or so they have increased. Being the editor of The Blog Herald adds to it of course, so there’s a lot of companies and people wanting me to write about their service. So how often do I pick up on a press release?

Colleen’s the new blogger at Buzz Networker, and she’s got a background in the PR industry, so why not talk PR with her? I did, and the interview tells a lot, to quote my The Blog Herald news post on it:
