I posted to his blog last week and it still has not appeared. Others have been complaining recently that their posts, when they ask questions about Edelman blogging policies, take several days to appear and then they are ignored. Anyone who manages a blog knows you can approve or disallow a post in seconds.  "[...] [...] Okay, Richard Edelman won’t talk about Microsoft of Wal-Mart, but maybe he will discuss his personal blogging standards and policies.

It's like he needs some outside PR counsel to wake him up. You can't have a highly visible public blog that trumpets ethics and transparency "in the industry" and then duck the issues when they apply to you. He's missing a great opportunity to engage the industry in dialogue and he's prolonging the questions about Edelman's opennness and ethical standards.

So, why not give those without blogs the opportunity to guest author on Richard's, Steve's, Phil's...or all Edelman blogs to ensure there side gets through? As much as I applaud Edelman's leadership in this space from their corporate and client-marketing points-of-view (and their willingness to make mistakes), I wonder about their lack of creativity in dealing with issues that erupt online. Doctor, heal thyself. Even though I work at one of their competitors (Fleishman-Hillard), I want these guys to succeed for the good of the industry.
