Although I am not blogging formally until Wednesday, I will introduce myself today. I have been working with new technologies and PR since the early 1980s. It seemed then -- and now -- that computer tools should be put to use in PR where they make sense. The challenge then -- and now -- is to get PR practitioners to take them up. There is no easy way to do this. I am part of a group of "old hands" who have spent close to 20 years working with PR practitioners to get them comfortable with technologies. Every one of us will tell you the task has been frustrating. But that topic is for another time and place. If you wish to read my bio, it is online.

Hi Jim,
I was encouraged by the high interest shown in technology subjects at the PRSA Conference. I think we are finally getting the message out . PR practitioners are starting to adopt the technologies that work in the digital age. Re: Hello

Have PR people been slow to adopt new technology? Compared to whom? I think this is mostly a myth. O'Dwyers was online early & often, so to with PR Newswire, MDS, and other wire services and PR distribution firms. It seems to me like PR has embraced new technology, sometimes at the expense of good, old-fashioned tools such as print and lunch.
Also, who wouldn't be cautious about blogs after seeing the dot com bubble burst, many web sites failing to live up to their hype, e-mail getting ruined with spam or leading to lawsuits and fines, e-zines becoming undeliverable, and now blog spam! Maybe PR has been too ready to embrace new technology? STEVE O'KEEFE Re: Hello
