November's Top 10 Posts
Mike Sansone of the blog ConverStations was kind enough to name Communication Overtones as one of his Dialing 8 features. According to Sansone, Dialing 8 is a set of posts from a blogger that, I find lasting long and being strong - the cornerstones.

It was very interesting to see what one reader of this blog considers my most interesting posts and it spurred (shamed) me into updating my sidebar that purportedly lists the most popular blog posts on this site. It has been (ummm) a few months since I have done this. I used to be much more reliable in keeping these updated. So, consider me chastised. See the sidebar for the update for the most popular posts of all time (which is only a year, but it is of all time for this site anyway) ;-)

For the month of November, the top 10 most popular posts were:

  • 7 Habits of Highly Effective Blogs
  • (This is, by far, the most popular post of all time, nothing else touches it)
  • Wikipedia: Jimmy Wales Talks to PRSA, Says "Hands Off"
  • (Stay tuned, some stuff is happening behind the scenes on this post, there will be more later)
  • What I Learned About PR at McDonalds
  • (what did you learn from your job in high school/college about PR that you carry with you today?)
  • Viral Video: The YouTube Curse
  • (In other words, the more popular you are, the more likely you will be sued)
  • Process PR: Advertising and Marketing in the Mix?
  • (A simple process for formulating and PR and marketing plan)
  • Fun Friday: Social Media Drawing Tool (Proof that fun is still popular)
  • Media in Second Life Not Too Different From First (Some things never change)
  • Six Principles of Public Relations: But First Develop a Spine (My call-out to the PR profession to push back on bad ideas)
  • Deliver, Respond, Delete: Get Control of Your Inbox (I am still working on this, do you have any great tips to share?)
  • McDonalds Blogger Learns Fast (Hard to believe this one still ranks, but it chronicles McDonald s rough entry into the blogosphere. It s a good case study, if nothing else)
