Morning. I am in the midst of culling large volumes of e-mail and catching up on news and blogs.

Thanks to everyone who dropped me a line in my absence both those who are delighted that I haven’t yet shuttled off this mortal coil and even those who wish I had 🙂

Here are some stories that piqued my interest recently….

O’Dwyer’s have announced a subscription for their online PR news, though at $20 per year it seems reasonable

– Mattel are experimenting with the power or blogging. They’ve launched Barbie’s blog (I kid you not) [FLASH required]

– Fellow PR blogger, Phil Gomes has a very interesting article on Mediamap looking at Instant messaging and its implications for PR – recommended reading for all.
