It's a ballsy one, but I think you hit the nail on the head. I've noticed that a lot of my favourite social media and public relations blogs have had dwindling content for the past couple of months. Perhaps the novelty of these dialogues has worn off somewhat or we've reached the tipping point where there is little left to be said. I believe you mentioned this in your presentation at the Canadian Institute: that dialogue needs to be replaced by action. Communications people talking to communications people can only last for so long. Eventually we have to step outside the bubble (or 'circle jerk' as DJ says) and engage with the community at large.

I've had my fill of the naval gazing. Over the course of this year I have found that instead of reading all of the posts in the "PR" folder of my Reader, I am referring to blogs when I am looking for best practices, guidance or advice. Instead I find myself reading blogs about my interests outside of communications, which actually helps me do my job better than a bunch of self congratulatory blog posts about social media and PR.
