RE: UKNM: Revolution's Top 100

[Leslie Bunder]

but good PRs should really be about getting their clients name out and

not their own! (unless of course it's a business type publication within

their industry eg: PR Week).


But of course, some PRs are doing some good stuff when it comes to using

the Net eg: those who update sites on a regular basis as opposed to some

who fail to update sites.


Thumbs up to NTL for actually managing to get the news release regarding

Microsoft up at virtually the same time it was announced.  (in fact it

was faster than the fax that eventually arrived on my desk!) 


I find nothing worse than going to a PR site or the clients site and the

news hasn't updated for months despite them making announcements or

doing deals.
