		<description>Yeah Ryan,

What exactly does Rudius offer people?  I&#039;m assuming not too much judging by the list of &quot;talent&quot; you guys have gotten.

Nice to sit in on your delusions though.

		<description>Tiffany,

I think your post about not using cliches is relevant here too. Your emails need to be about realness, about connection. That means dropping the pretension and the business jargon and connecting like people.

		<description>Jake,

I don&#039;t write comments about myself in the third person, I just publish them. And btw, NO ONE has experience in this subject--it&#039;s being made up as it happens. Side-by-side comparison, I am as good if not better than all the pros out there. If I showed you my track record--which I can&#039;t due to privacy and ethical reasons--you would lose your shit.

		<description>Do you feel you&#039;re annoying b/c you didn&#039;t get any comments on the post? I can&#039;t speak for anybody else, but for me, anyway, it&#039;s not that you&#039;re annoying in this post, it&#039;s that you are 1) speaking authoritatively on a subject you really don&#039;t have much experience with and 2) speaking about a subject that is outside the realm of my interests.

That didn&#039;t really make me angry, it made go eh-eh and move on.

Although some of this piece was cool, imo. I liked how you economized conversation. Bring something to the interaction and you will get paid back in turn. That is good insight there. Maybe you could talk more about the economics of everyday life in other posts? I know I&#039;d be verrrrry interested in that and maybe perhaps some others would too.

		<description>I just wrote an article to the effect of new media PR is pure personal relationships, so in my estimation, you&#039;ve hit the nail on the head.

Something that never ceases to amaze me is that people think e-mails, etc. don&#039;t need to be taken seriously or given much attention - even when that&#039;s the primary or sometimes singular way you communicate with a given person.
