Robert Scoble wrote a nice piece in Fast Company about “how to get good PR for yourself in the blogosphere.” It’s called Meet the Press. He notes how Tim Ferriss, author of The 4-Hour Work Week, went from relative obscurity to a “media darling” in about a year’s time by — among other things — making real-life connections with bloggers.

A good tip from Scoble: use Upcoming.org to see where other bloggers have indicated they are going. Scoble is using Upcoming.org to “watch” the Enterprise Search Summit and Blogger Social ’08 (and a lot of other stuff). If nothing else, you may find something interesting to do (I was “reminded” that the Five Boro Bike Tour is coming up in May and I learned that a band I like is apparently back together and will be playing in NYC in June). A friend [no blog reference] recently reminded me of another resource for this type of thing: MeetUp.com.

I like Scoble’s ideas and I like Ferriss’ book. I recommend that anyone interested in knowledge management, efficiency, productivity, or just making the most out of your waking hours [and your sleeping hours], give the book a read. (It’s not necessarily about working only 4 hours a week). Need some incentive? Check out Ferriss’ blog.

And if you’ve got a blogging strategy, Scoble would like to hear about it. He invites readers to email him about it at scoble@fastcompany.com and “he’ll post the best ideas at” Scobleizer.com. Looking forward to that.

    Yes, but how does he make this work? Do upcoming / meetup and the others offer notifications or feeds? (They do, if I’ve learned anything about Scoble. But I’ve never noticed the feature before.) None of those services seem very friendly for just going into the website and checking – have you ever noticed how many meetups there are?

    Jack,

    I haven’t used them for very long, but Upcoming does offer feeds. If you add someone as a friend, then click the “My Friends’ Events” link, there is a Subscribe button. There is also a subscribe button for your own events. I am having some difficulty getting the feed into Google Reader, however. It doesn’t seem to recognize it.

    Anybody have any experience with this?
