i agree with some of this, and there are some good ideas, but as most blanket advisory goes it's a bad fit - IMO - for a substantial number of startups. PR folks have a real role to play in the relationship that we enjoy with many startup organizations. could they do it on their own? sure. but i could, in theory, do our bookkkeeping and accounting. but that would be a terrible waste of my time, and i would do it terribly.

Twitter: The hottest Web startup - Aug. 6, 2008

poor Twitter. when it's not being slagged for its poor uptime, it's being knocked for its lack of a business plan. which is fair, given recent history. but how many would have used it - or even realized that they might - if it's gates weren't wide open from Day One? i wouldn't have. Twitter stands a much better chance of realizing revenue, IMO, now that it's addicted so many users than it did before. it's like crack that way.
