Matt–I think RSS is one of those acronyms we know better as an acronym and less as a phrase. If I say “really simple syndication,” the average person won’t truly understand it as they would RSS.

Either way, sometimes we rely too much on techies to define our language!

Hi Mae. Sorry for the late reply. You make a great point about the Internet expediting sharing. Good luck in your studies!

Those are some really great alternatives you have there. I’m a student of communication in the Philippines, and I remember seeing the “Never say ‘no comment” tip over and over in PR books. And I think this statement is truer today than ever because the internet expedites information sharing. If in the past, companies were able to use the “no comment” statement to at least buy them time, today, it’s no longer going to be effective. After all, if you don’t make your comment pretty soon, there will be others who will comment for you, be it in twitter, facebook, or whatever platform that suits them.

Looking forward to more of your posts, Mr. Rubner!

Justin — did you intend the irony to end your message with a reference to the acronym “RSS”?

Looking in from the outside it would seem to only make sense that a journalist could be a great PR person in much the same way that a former IRS agent could make a great tax advisor and a former entrepreneur could make a great VC; they know both sides of the table. BTW, really wishing you had named and shamed that CEO, but completely understand why you didn’t.

I agree completely on better “business-news judgment” by journalists.
