		<description>Robert:

Congratulations on your astounding growth -- well, not yours exactly, the site's. That's fantastic news and I always find this site interesting browsing and reading. Great job and I'm proud to be a small part of it.</description>

		<description>That is so cool. Thanks so much Robert! Fascinating! 

PROpenmic is wonderful, and congratulations again on the success this site has achieved in such a short time.

And it's the SNCR Fellows like you that make SNCR so successful! 

Best wishes and many thanks for all you do!

		<description>Hey Jen,

Thanks.  A comparison of SNCR.org, NewCommReview.com and PROpenMic.org is below.

&lt;a href='http://grapher.compete.com/sncr.org+newcommreview.com+propenmic.org+odwyerpr.com+myragan.com?metric=sess' rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src='http://grapher.compete.com/sncr.org+newcommreview.com+propenmic.org+odwyerpr.com+myragan.com_sess_460.png' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

And, this &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://siteanalytics.compete.com/sncr.org+newcommreview.com+propenmic.org+odwyerpr.com+myragan.com?metric=sess" rel="nofollow"&gt;link to Compete.com&lt;/a&gt; shows the comparison so you can modify it for other stats.  You'll need to create an account (it is free) so you can compare 5 sites at a time.

Just looking at it quickly, if you combine the two sites (SNCR &#038; NewCommReview), you're kicking everyone's rear.  ;o)  But, SNCR.org still has more traffic than NewCommReview.</description>

		<description>Robert,

Thank you so much for including my post. You provide some great resources on twitter here. As a public relations professional Twitter is one of the most important tools I use. I strongly recommend that students starting their career join the twitter community and discover the knowledge that is available to them!

Thank you!

		<description>Hi Robert -

Very interesting, and thanks for including us. I'd be interested to see how www.Newcommreview.com fared - given that SNCR.org is really quite a static organizational site and NewCommReview is our interactive news site with much more participation by our Fellows and up-to-the-minute content - much more comparable to some of the others you mentioned. 

Best -

		<description>Robert, it is great to see such a strong community forming around PR Open Mic. From the stats you described, we can see that not only do we attract many people, but people also choose to stay on our site for a while when they visit. Thank you so much for your vision, commitment, and stamina. 

P.S. Look out for a new wave of ducks in the coming weeks. We begin classes on Monday.</description>

		<description>This is yet another example of cultural inappropriateness. I'll sing this song until my throat runs dry: &lt;b&gt;People, it's not about the tools, it's about the culture of the people using the tools!&lt;/b&gt;

Twitter is easy to learn. What's to it? Typing and clicking.

Yet the culture of twitter users, and the social norms this culture has developed as to what it and is not appropriate, take a bit longer to learn... Typing "test" and confirming you can click is not enough...

I thought journalists' social norms radar is quite sensitive, but mistakes happen, I guess.

Lesson for all: That ethnography class might be more useful than you thought!</description>

		<description>Hey, Margie!  My pleasure.  Never too busy to write about the great things you're doing.

That phone call always stuck with me because I just thought, how cool - she's really doing this and for the Governor, no less!  ;o)  And, hey ... you weren't in a panic.  :o)  You were goin' for it and doing a great job!

So happy for you, Margie.  Much deserved recognition for many jobs well done.  Take care!</description>

		<description>Robert, your support means so, so much. And for you to take the time to write so extensively about this just floors me! -- I know you are a busy man. 

I can't tell you how often I repeat the story about having to call you in a panic seeking help for that radio editing project.  I'll have you know the Governor's Office is STILL using the system you taught me and the equipment you suggested!

Thank you, again, for your continued support. WAR EAGLE!</description>
