Cogent Insights Marketing Consulting

Steve Rubel is the quintessential PR practitioner - articulate, diplomatic and very accomplished in the art of promoting both himself and matters dear to his heart. After all, his blog Micro Persuasion helped him get his job at the PR agency Edelman.

Rubel’s blog reflects all of these qualities, and helps make it one of the most interesting, and well-read blogs in the blogosphere.

The focus of his writing is “how social media is transforming marketing, media and public relations”.

Hacking MySpace has been available in book stores in the US for the last couple of weeks, but I only received my author’s copies yesterday.

While I’ve written a number of books over the years, I still get a buzz when I first see the finished product. I think the publisher, Wiley, has done a great job on the cover design and layout.

And yes, the book is red, and not blue (as it was shown in the previews).

If you do decide to get a copy, or already have one, I’d really like to get your feedback. I’d also be interested in hearing about any ideas you have for this site.
