Being the first travel blogger selected for a Twitter-only press trip on Princess Cruises Crown Princess wasn't intended as a ploy for media attention by me, but it turned out to be a great way to "get media by being media."

You can just start writing about him! Try this Judo move: writing a critique of something he just wrote that has nothing to do with your company." You knew this would come up in my ego search, didn't you? :) It's a really stupid, dishonest idea. You're talking about attacking me -- manufacturing feelings that your readers don't actually feel just to drum up a little PR. That is, lying in public. This, friend, is exactly what gives the PR industry a bad name. You're actually advocating sleaziness! --Pogue “you don’t have to wait around for David Pogue of the New York Times to write about you.
