]]> Comment on Now we know! by PR is not a disaster - it’s propaganda « The Friendly Ghost - PR and marketing through copywriting and design http://tossr.com/2006/09/11/now-we-know/#comment-8532 PR is not a disaster - it’s propaganda « The Friendly Ghost - PR and marketing through copywriting and design Tue, 06 Mar 2007 22:11:24 +0000 http://tossr.com/2006/09/11/now-we-know/#comment-8532 [...] Everything else in the video is a gross distortion. If you’re not in PR, of course you don’t know who the invisible PR companies are. Before I worked in financial IT, I didn’t know who Warburgs were (they’re now UBS). I’m sure most people hadn’t even heard of Barings before Nick Leeson brought them to their knees single-handed. And these are companies that deal with money - your money. Not even your opinion - your money. Of course PR companies use sophisticated techniques. That’s because the audience is sophisticated. And PR=advertising? C’maaaaan. Everything’s blown out of the water when a web address is shown at the end: www.guerillanews.com. There’s your agenda. Now we know. Or we would do if the website existed. Like The Electric Banana, it doesn’t seem to exist any more. How much more invisible could you get? None. None more invisible. [...] […] Everything else in the video is a gross distortion.

This time, it’s about the eBay Auction Enhancer user script for the Greasemonkey extension for Firefox. This nifty little bit of JavaScript adds a countdown timer to eBay auction pages (as well as an in-place bid placer, although I tend not to use that so much).
