To be honest, the whole post was to allow me to make the gag at the end, which was intended to raise a little smile, rather than hackles. I guess I need to get better at communicating 'whimsy' and apologise to anyone offended... Link corrected. Thanks, Constantin.

(I hope Philip Young [1] will correct me if I'm wrong, but) I think the EuroBlog survey was asking what will motivate a *company* to use a blog (or why PR people think that weblogs will be a good communication tool -- we'll have to see the original questionnaire), as opposed to the Pew study, which was asking people what is their personal motivation for blogging. But it will be interesting, indeed, to see what are the motivations of PR bloggers :) Thank you for pointing to the PR & Communications Blogs List!
