John C. Dvorak, the grumpiest of grumpy old men, defender of the IT consumer, curmudgeon and all round Microsoft baiter has taken a swing at Global PR Blog Week.
“I can�t imagine a worse combination of ingredients: PR and blogging! That said, I can�t tell if these folks are on to something or if they are just complainers who can�t get work.”
Anyway, that’s hardly a surprise and our fellow professionals take John to task so I don’t intend to make any further comment. So why this post?
Well Trevor Cook’s comment made me laugh out loud this morning:
“Trashing other people�s professions is of course one of the popular pastimes of modern life. We all know lawyer jokes by the hundred. In fact, we used to call the IT guy �mirrors� because everytime we pointed to a problem he said �I�ll look into it”.”
I’ve already used it with our IT guy and he doesn’t like it. Fantastic.
