How we decide what to talk about

Stephen O'Grady of RedMonk also linked to this but it is an excellent essay about the impact of PR by Paul Graham.

It is worth reading the whole thing but I thought it was especially enlightening what he said about blogs. So much of what we read in the press and in magazines is as a result of PR. What is different about blogs is that content is what the blogger wants to write about. Although that is even influenced by PR. PR frequently creates the buzz. I guess one way to look at PR is that it instigates the conversation.
