[Cross-Posted from PR Opinions] The PR Opinions blog first emerged blinking into the bright lights of the Interweb in March 2002. In the intervening four years (and over 1,400 posts), this blog has witnessed some incredibly interesting developments in the world of Public Relations and it has helped me to meet and connect with like-minded practitioners around the globe.
However, it’s time to make a change.
When I started PR Opinions there were only three other PR blogs [Jim, Phil and Richard] and I started it simply as a way to store links to interesting online PR content – del.icio.us 2002 style if you like. Today there are over 400 PR blogs, generating an amazing amount of content and opinions on the PR arena. PR Opinions’ raison d’etre is no longer valid.
So it’s time for a change. I’m putting PR Opinions in mothballs and moving to a shiny new blog which will continue to discuss the finer elements of Public Relations, still moan at the hype, but will also cover more diverse subjects that take my fancy.
My mother’s already changed her RSS feed subscription so I imagine traffic levels will remain unchanged. I’ve migrated all the archived PR Opinions posts and comments to a WordPress blog at: http://www.tpemurphy.com/propinions/
I’ve already disabled the comments feature at natterjackpr.com due to the volume of spam.
If you’d like to make a comment feel free to leave one here.
Thanks to everyone who made PR Opinions so enjoyable, I hope you’ll stick around.

Love the new blog name!!!! From opinion to law…. that’s progress
Tom, wherever you go my RSS reader will follow — I’m definitely sticking around!
Thanks for continuing the flow of discussion and pointing the way to the new subscription.
Welcome to WordPress, it’s so much better
Tom,
As you lead, so shall we follow.
You shall not get away,
I think I understand, though the fact that there’s so much PR blog chatter means we will continue to need Tom Murphy to cut through the clutter. (Just checked: PR Opinions was the first PR blog I linked to; Murphy’s Law is the 141st.)
Like the nice new shiney blog, Tom.
Hey, m’man… Lookin’ good…

Switch Your RSS Feeds, Murph Is Moving…
One of the longest-running and refreshingly hype-proof PR blogs, Tom Murphy’s PR Opinions, is closing down and moving to Murphy’s Law….
I think it’s time to give Mediations a new look, a lick of paint and a snappy new name like… I don’t know, PR Opinions…
The King (or at least one of them) is dead! Long live the King!
Glad to see you’re mutating, rather than fading away.
Best of luck to you.
What does the ‘PE’ stand for?
Congrats, and now I’ll go change the link from my blog to this new one.
Congrats for the new blog Tom, one more for WordPress, both your RSS and URL are already updated in my RSS reader & blogroll !
Tom,
Much luck on WordPress. Much cleaner look and feel! I just swapped out the new blog’s predecessor on my Blogroll.
Regards,
Peter
Thanks Peter!
