3 November Search agency bigmouthmedia is kicking arse this morning with a wonderful piece of guerrilla PR. It surveyed the top 100 UK PR agencies and says the industry is ill equipped to deliver digital services. It found 79 per cent of firms have yet to develop online and social media services... I'd love to see a list of firms that bigmouthmedia reckons aren't up to muster. We haven't launched a digital team at Rainier PR per se, so maybe we'd be named and shamed. But then I think sticking a label on a bunch of specialists in a corner of the office is the wrong approach.

That said, I spotted a Tweet from Andrew Smith earlier this week about the new LinkedIn applications and decided to investigate. I have to say that I am impressed.
UK OPEN TO WEB IDEAS
