DISQUS

Hi!
We cleared this up on the original blog post, but I do want to point out that the original post must have confused Philadelphia's uwishunu with another DMOs blog. Philadelphia and uwishunu has never used "false blogger personas." We pride ourselves on our genuine, local bloggers, and our transparency can be seen right on the site:

Thanks!

Um, hey everybody... uh, if you follow me, I'll send you a Ben Franklin doll! Yea! That's it!

John - interesting point. My office doesn't work specifically with conferences unless they are journalist conferences. But the one time we did in June, we made sure to provide conference attendees access to our twitter account, our official visitor site and our tourism blog, www.uwishunu.com, all before they got here to Philadelphia.

As I just tweeted, Philadelphia has a history of engaging bloggers. We've hosted an all-blogger press trip, invite bloggers on all of our press trips, we held BlogPhiladelphia and blogger meet-ups, and we'd be happy to help craft an appropriate itinerary for visiting bloggers. It's fun to see immediate results, too.

Cool, thanks for the accolade. We are in good company with all the blogs listed up here, for sure.

you're the best geeks!

I had insomnia the other night and read Dorothy's blog start to finished and I laughed out loud the whole time. Then I surfed the internet. The ENTIRE internet.

Congrats, Alex, et al! I am so glad Annie introduced me to the great things you guys are doing.

You really show the collaborative spirit that is a hallmark of how creative, intelligent folks work in Philly!

All the best!

Nice link on the WSJ blog!

Anyway, here's the tourism office "official response"-- though we're not getting too up in arms!
