WTF? PR Fail uses Twitter and del.icio.us to automatically collect examples of bad PR things from across the world. Why? The aim is to help PR people be better and give journalists and bloggers a way of sharing their bad experiences. As well as just collecting examples of bad PR in one handy place for case studies and things. PR Win PR Win does the same thing, but for good PR things. How? Use the tag “prfail” or “uselesspr” on Twitter or del.icio.us and it will appear right here as soon as all the feeds running in the background update.
