It would be nice if I did, esp. if I'm sending a list of contest winners. : ) As for responding to PR emails, sometimes I put them in a "Later" sort of folder to respond to after I do a post or if I need more info. I didn't realize it bothered PR people to get a response several weeks later.

I hate having my in-box full of extras, that, in the long run don't matter to me. I guess from the other point of view, it makes sense because you can write off some people, which means less emails to send the second round. I'm glad you work with nice PR people. My experience has been pretty good overall with PR folks too. Just the occasional baddie - which is typical no matter who you're working with. @Cynthia – I know, that’s my rational as well.

I do respond promptly and I do send links most of the time - not if it's a brief mention, because again - why fill up an email box. In general, I work with several PR people who are really incredible at communicating and they make my job easier and a pleasure. But there are a few who tell me they'll get me something and never get back to me ever again - but I guess that's the nature of the biz. There are only so many hours in day and if the PR person's on overload, something's going to fall away. Great piece - thanks for this.
