Blog Council

By now most marketing and PR bloggers have heard about the new Blog Council -- created by Andy Sernovitz, former head of WOMMA, 12 big company members, etc. etc. In fact, most marketing and PR bloggers have already written about it and I don't have much to add. I'm going to reserve judgment until we see what the Council actually does.

However, I do have one comment, which is that I am once again disappointed by an industry group's speaking roster. So far the Council appears to have had nine members-only presentations of some sort, with 13 speakers, some from vendors, some from member companies. 10 men (77%), 3 women (23%). Better than some recent events, but still not good enough.

We have to do better than this. I hope the Blog Council does.
