He did calm down and I've found his more selective tweeting useful and interesting. The trouble with something like Twitter is that it's so easy and quick - as you point out - and it's so easy to bash something out without thinking. And therein lies the problem.

When he wants to, the man can really put together a good blog post. Check out his series on using Gmail as a hub for all of your communications. Really good stuff. His abilities as a PR man? I don't know. But what I do know is that from the lens of a fellow blogger looking *in* on what he does, I also agree -- he always seems to be apologizing for what he's done, or *not* done (in the case of Edelman's Walmart fiasco). Which, ironically, seems like bad PR. :P Cheers t @ dji Patricia,

And it seems I only hear about Edelman when they're apologizing for something (Wal-Mart Across America, anyone?). His mea culpa letter holds no water. Rubel can join Arrington, Calcanis, Scoble and their pompous loudmouth brethren in the category of people who read, fight with, comment upon and bring media attention to each other more than the rest of us care about all of them put together. For someone who's spent his career in PR, Rubel seems to act/speak before thinking frighteningly often. I’ll admit — I’ve never had much use for Steve Rubel.
