I've Been Invited to be a MarcomBlog Contributor: I'm Standing in Tall Cotton, Now

Robert French has done me the signal honor of asking me to become MarcomBlog's 10th contributor.  Wow.

MarcomBlog is based at Auburn University's Department of Communication and Journalism, and is a collaborative effort between the students there and the contributors. And Robert.

The  purpose: To actively involve students in conversations with practitioners from around the world. Blogs offer a unique opportunity for students to converse with professionals they never would have met before. Why not harness the power of CMS to bring people together. Think of this as part mentoring exercise by our contributors and part incubator for future PR/Marcom professionals.

Well, I am proud to take part, though not a little in awe of the company I'll be keeping:

Connect PR - David Forstrom
What I Think, What I Do - Bill French
PR Thoughts - Guillaume du Gardier
hyku blog - Josh Hallett
Nevon - Neville Hobson
Adventures in Business Communications - Dee Rambeau
Blog de Octavio Isaac Rojas Orduña - Octavio Rojas
Marqui's World Showcasing Our Imagination - Tara Smith
Context Rules Marketing and Cincom Simplicity - Dale Wolf
infOpinions - Robert French

And, of course, all the students who, if I can judge from their blogs, will be a stimulating group.

In short, I'm standing in the tall cotton. And shall have to learn to write intelligent things...

And very happy to have you join us, too. Thanks for agreeing to come on over.

I've enjoyed your first few posts and look forward to more down the road. The studetns are enjoying your southern presence, too.

Take care.

Well, it's not entirely altruistic. The students come from all over the South, so I expect dozens, even scores, of restaurant and blues-joint tips.
