- Great tips for people wanting to use Twitter for business. I have both a personal account and a business account. It makes keeping specific contacts separate.

Now that I know that there were several paid bloggers in the room, it makes me wonder a little, but really, I don't have a major problem with it -- at the end of the day, their coverage has to be based on the quality of the product and the perceived impact on customers.

Imagine that ten people were wearing “I was paid $2k to be here” on a t-shirt at the event. When compensation comes into the mix from a PR company, it means a free / friendly / social event is attempting to be manipulated by a PR firm.
Not having been there- I am sure that the conversation was good on other points, Mike and the items being talked about are good discussion items. I’m sure his presence drew in a bigger crowd.
I am very interested why Edelman decided to spend money flying out celebrity bloggers, when they could have promoted the event here and drawn a much bigger crowd (including many local celebrity bloggers) who live in the Puget Sound area. Even if you just had an intern call around and invite the top 100 industry relevant bloggers here… it would have been attended by a bunch who didn’t know it was happening.

I was one of few bloggers there too, for the pitch at least. It did help get a company that wasn't on my radar at all at the very least in my field of familiarity, and this may pay off for them. But there are clearly other ways it could have been done, as you point out well here.
I'm happy to continue the conversation more anytime.
